[OSList] 10 Haikus on Open Space

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear Open Space-ers
I finally found the time to write Haikus...
Instead of the traditional haiku format of 3 lines of 5-7-5 syllables...My haikus are 7-5-7...apologies to those who are haiku lovers...
Thanks Lisa for getting me to write haikus...My last ones were written ages ago...when I did not have any white hair yet...
Here are my haikus...

10 HAIKUS on, of, for, about Open Space

by: Carmela Ariza, 

17 May 2015, Berlin
 
1

Structured communications

Contrives flow of thought

Wisdom grows when freely sought


 
2

Interfering by resting

Distance ain't distant

Absence – powerful presence


 
3

Movement creates openings

Comings and goings

Persons – you are the blessings


 
4

Speech and breath fills the spaces

Silence evokes truth

Brilliance shines through all pauses


 
5

Circles expand or contract

Size does not matter

Geometry is chemistry


 
6

In fertile open spaces

Thought seeds germinate

Ideas grow in due time


 
7

Who’s there is not the question

Knock, knock is senseless

We count less on positions


 
8

No table to make things stable

With chairs, without chairs

Our passion gets us going


 
9

We don’t start with promises

Freeing premises

Yields a lot of surprises


 
10

Oh-pen, awe-pen, open space

Ahs, ohs, ums, and oms

Clickety-clack, hush no more

Love to all,
Carms


 True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.
