[OSList] a substantial difference

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Harrison...one of the aspects of you that I love is that when you
participate, you engage.

I witness many people participating and appearing engaged. And yet upon
probing after a participatory meeting, engagement was not sufficient to
create follow on action. I feel that this distinction between having a
participatory meeting and having the conditions for engagement is important
somehow.

Blessings,
Birgitt
