>> I want to share with you my feeling of gratefulness this may 28th morning.
>> I don't know if it happens to you, but today is my birthday and this fact made me reflect on what is important in mi life and guess what I felt?
>>  I felt really blessed to be a person to knows how to open the space for others (of course I also love being a participant my self!)
>> 
>> This Saturday I was invited to a congress where I had the opportunity to open the space at a students congress.
>> This was just a 2 hour moment with the whole group. It seemed a little short to me but it was amazing to see all this groups sharing, having so much fun, engaged and surprised by this new experience for them. It seamed so simple at the same time 
>> 
>> And what made me appreciate so much the importance of this open space  possibility (and all the other open space experiences in my life) is the other part of my life that I was remembering tonight. 
>> 
>> I was a student at the Mexico French Lycee from 5 years old to 18 year old. For a few years in my class there was an other student which family name was Aleman. (The teacher use to call all the names of the students, in alphabetical other to mark on the list who was there and who was missing).  When the teacher said:"Aleman" she would answer back "Présente" 
>> After this one only word I never had a chance in 14 years to hear her voice, to talk to her, to meet her. And we attended, day after day, the same call room for several years!
>> She was shy and he was friends with only two other girls...but this same thing happened whit other students in my group and during years, and years of attending this school I never had a chance to had any conversation with so many other students there!
>> We did not have a space or a way to experience that. We had the "récreation" the pause that was 30 minutes every day but in that time we would eat, rest, walk and talk... only with the same friends in small groups 2,3,4 or 5 but never with a bigger group,at least not me.
>>  I had my friends, many of them, and I would talk to them  yes, but as a group we never had a space for a conversation, not even a 2 hour space for a meaningful conversation in 14 years of being there every day! ! Or even as stupid conversation would had be a special opportunity to here my companions voices but this NEVER occur in 14 years!
>> 
>> Remembering that, today I am very happy to be able to offer this opportunity to a group. It is extra ordinary  to have a space to share and to be able to listen to more voices, more opinions, to many ideas!
>> And I wanted to share this reflections with you, in case that in a certain moment you forget about what we are offering  as possibility to a group when we open the space.
>> It is a very special and important moment!
>> Thanks!
