hi Helene,
Hmm, I actually experience your English as very good! And I experience
your thinking as /excellent/:
"...So i think we have but one way: let things happen, trying nothing,
giving up ends and means more and more people will /progressively
participate and feel the effects of OS, relax their
soul...*"progressively" can be very fast! */
This is 100% aligned with the topic (and more importantly, the spirit)
of this thread:
"Open Space wherever, however, whenever, with whomever as often as you can"
We might consider inviting the unlovely, and the uninviting.
Let's consider what it means to be open. DO open. All the way
