I often feel inadequate writing on this level, when so many of you
are<br>
opening space officially in so many important ways and sharing
those<br>
stories. I see the validity in our calls for political
action. I see<br>
the validity in our work. I feel the limits of our language, as
I<br>
notice that my interpretations of what has been written are taken
as<br>
'prescriptive' in one way or another. I have no answers, my
friends.<br>
I have only questions and a strong desire to open space to explore<br>
them. I pray that I will have the opportunity to live out my
purpose on<br>
this earth.</blockquote><br>
Hi Glory -- we are all in the stew together. And, as you say, Open Space
has "blown it all away." How is that for a simple "meeting
methodology"? Holding Space, I believe, is a Spiritual Discipline.
It is (usually) not what we would choose -- and often not what we would
want. But we have the opportunity... and the responsibility -- I
think.<br>
