The new Space Race:

Thank you Michael. For offering the perfect  invitation! What I’m noticing
is that the words “I Care“ are absolutely crucial today in the self
organizing that is happening: happening to benefit others as well as
self-as you pointed out.

The Law of Two Feet is take responsibility for what you Care about (as I’ve
always explained it.😘)
People are doing this. It is easy to work with them to offer the simple
patterns of OST to help them get done what they want to do. It is easy for
them to perceive that this is how things work and to ask the next question:
how do we create the system that ensures this keeps happening? I am
participating with several groups of multi-age, multi-everything  people
who are doing that. So I’m speaking from observation/experience.

For us, it’s LIVE Open Space now. Offer Your gifts wherever you’re
attracted to go. While you do the work that is right in front of you, ask
the meta questions help people become aware of what system is actually
working for them AND listen to what all your comadres and compadres are
saying.

For me, it’s back in the day, before the corporate world became the most
wealthy & fascinating place to work in. It’s actually how we used to
organize ourselves. (Those days of experience are one of the things that
caused me to recognize the tremendous value of what dear Harrison Owen
brought forward.)

We have so much to offer & to learn!! Let’s use the Law of Two Feet (Acting
on “I Care”) right where we live. AND swap stories about how our
experiences reveal the systems & practices that serve the NEW WORLD that’s
coming into being. Love, Anne
