Dear dear wonderful Alan,

We will be seeing each each other in Manila and my heart sings with
delight. A lifelong friendship between us that began in Taiwan at WOSonOS.
In absentia, we shared a martini as a way of saluting Harrison in the US.
Later you made your way to Florida to be with us for our 2013 WOSonOS.


I look forward to being in Conversare with you and most especially meeting
others who may be new to Open Space or to a Global Open Space gathering
like this. The powerful learning and sharing with others who have had years
of experience in Open Space and who I have met at such gatherings were
seminal and life changing. The multiculturalism is also wonderful and
humbling.

And most important of all, when we open space together, we unleash the
leadership and courage inside us to open more space where we live and work.
The inspired theme of this Philippines gathering captures the very great
need in the world now to open more space. *“The World is Shifting. Come
back to the Circle. Open more Space.” *

So Alan I will follow your lead and spread the word to my counterparts
also. Last week I became a US citizen and now as a dual citizen with
Canada, the responsibility I feel to build bridges, to connect, to repair
and to create has never felt greater or more urgent. In the context of
these times, political and otherwise, much space to be opened.

Earlier this year, the video on the front page of the 2016 WOSonOS website
<http://www.wosonos2016.com/> prepared by our hosts hooked my heart. Music
and song does that. If you listen again, perhaps it will hook your hearts
too and like me you will decide to go or invite others to do so.

Look forward to sharing another martini with you Alan and this time
Harrison will not be in absentia. And that will be great fun indeed!

Suzanne
