[OSList] Our new OSLIST Poet Laureate

Wed May 20 08:26:20 PDT 2015

Congratulations to our new Poet Laureate, Lucas Cioffi! And thank you 
for all that you're doing for the Open Space community on the OSHotline, 
with your efforts and innovations with dialog and facilitation - like 
your event today online - the free Dialogue and Facilitation Showcase 
today 5-6pm Eastern http://goo.gl/kqjjVB 
<http://qiqochat.com/e/tDVVcIfLDXlKuLmvcizUShWDv/ACGqZHfyctEIAplRTOBxAvEVs>.

And thank you so much, Carmela, a very timely poem. Especially the line 
"Do not pursue happiness - practice it". In a country where we 
practically worship the "pursuit of happiness" along with our life and 
liberty - your poem is a wonderful balm for many of our national ills.

And thank you, Lisa, for all the space you've held for poetry here.

Florian - thanks for the triple hug! I still remember the deep poetry of 
your non-verbal sounds at the closing circle of the Berlin WOSonOS in 
2010. What could be our next step to evoke yet more poetry here on the 
OSList?

     Peace,
     Harold
