face=Arial size=2>Actually, at this talk Harrison did this morning, it seemed he
wasn't going to mention the principles and the law to this group of people new
to OS. I must admit my first thought was he was experimenting with doing
one less thing. As has been said in several ways already (but I'll add my
version), for me, the gift of OS is making the principles and law
explicit. Yes, they're part of the natural order of being human, but it
seems when they're consciously brought forth, people behave
differently. And they take them home with them, never to be the same
again...</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>

face=Arial size=2>ver the last year or so, I've come to see the two principles
-- When it starts...and When it's over... as one principle about
time. It has to do with our relationship to the clock. It is a
reminder that clocks are recent constructs; they're a mere convenience that have
a role. They just don't need to hog center stage in how we make
decisions. In truth, time does go fast sometimes, slow sometimes, and
even stands still. So this is a principle to invite people to pay
attention to their own natural rhythm, noticing what has passion for them and to
follow that path. After all, that's when spirit emerges.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I haven't figured out a sleek way to state this as
one principle, so I still mention them both but talk about them as a result of
this different relationship to time. any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
