Hey Daniel, I don't think Mr. Trump has any problem finding his breakout in the open space of the contemporary world. I find the issue exactly to be that he wishes to close off the space to others.

He's being a space invader. How do you handle a space invader? Maybe if we both gave him a big hug.

Are we to invite only those who are inviting?  Only those who are lovely?  

If we invite the uninviting and love the unlovely, the rest is up to them. 

Is it not? 

Isn't that how opening space actually goes?

Unfortunately they are also the words of a demagogue, seeking to play upon the fears of others. That there is danger is clear, but an infinitely greater danger is that we sacrifice our essential humanity to our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors and windows... we close our space. And while it may appear safer, that is an allusion. Life cannot be lived without space to live in. We are no exception.

Rather it is the reflection of what we do. Opening Space. Opening space is not magic. We did not invent it. It is not even complicated. At root level it is simply inviting people to be fully who and what they are, to greet each other and to enjoy the space. We can do it. We can invite others to do it. And now is the time.
