Many thanks to you, Eugenio, for reminding me of the power of one voice,
and the power of many voices lifted together.<br><br>
I've gone over and over the list of 4 voices......and want to add one
more to my personal list: the voice of the Light that shines
through All that is.<br><br>
Many blessings to you,<br>
Diane<br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2 color="#808080">I thank you from the deepest of
my soul for your acknowledgement of my message. It helped a lot to open
my inner Space again. It took a great effort to force myself out of shock
and write my first message. After that I was receeding again back into
shock when your message asking for more information came through showing
that any voice, even mine, counts. I share whatever needs to be shared if
it can help anybody anywhere. And by sharing also help myself to
JUST DO IT! as Harrison Owen exhorts us to do.</font><br>

<font face="arial" size=2 color="#808080">This morning I was supervising
at a psychiatric hospital here in Stockholm, Sweden. The session became
something different than what it usually is. It became an Open Space for
sharing whatever needed to be shared. I didn´t do anything to open it.
The need was just there. The space kept closing and opening during three
hours. The feelings of powerlessness made some people utter
terrible things about inmigrants in general, muslims and jews in
particular. The space closed, but opened again in miraculous ways. I don'
t get it, but I imagine that that' s what we are going to see once and
again in the months to come. Responsibility and passion for keeping it
open wherever we go is the task.</font><br>

<dd>Hi to all and Eugenio,<br><br>
<dd>Can you share the name of the person or firm who did the
training? I'm participating in a collaborative here in Cincinncati
that is led by Jay Rothman, of the ARIA group, who specializes in
mediation for Identity Based Conflicts. The four voices are a
wonderfully memorable way of guiding our hearing and perceptions for what
is, and for what is missing and needed.<br><br>
<dd>Thank you so much.<br><br>
<dd>Blessings,
<dd>Diane<br><br>

<dd>A couple of years ago I was in a training for mediators called
"Sustainable Reconciliation in divided societies".
</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>Participants came from Chechenja, The Balcans, The African Great
Lakes Region, Northern Ireland, ... and a majority of people like me from
the western welfare societies. </font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>One of the most impacting learnings was that for reconciliation to
take place, four voices have to be heard and allowed to permeate all
actions. Those are the voices of Peace, Truth, Justice and Mercy.
</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>In the media and political speeches I hear the voice of Justice clear
and loud, maybe the whispers of Truth.</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>In this list/space I can read what Mercy and Peace have to
say.</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>Let´s keep the space open so that all four can be expressed and acted
in the same Space and at the same
Time.</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>I pray that president Bush hears the four voices and allows them to
permeate all the actions that he will have to
order.</font><font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>My deepest condoleances to all those that are directly affected by
this terrorist action and to all of us (and them whoever they are) that
are too.</font>
