Happening –In The Moment</font></i></em><br>

Peace DO NOT Happen According to a Schedule</font></i></em><br>

A1: Follow what has “Heart & Meaning<br>
Do and Speak "OTIS" (Only The Important Stuff) --
Insight and Compassion<br>
A2: Be Present. Participate. Pay Attention<br>
Pay attention to my Intentions, Behavior, and Impact on
others.<br>
A3: Tell the Truth (using Skillful means)<br>
Speak what I are really experiencing -- thinking, real<br>
assumptions, beliefs, agendas, commitments, values,
promises,<br>
doubts, errors, fears, feelings, roles that I am playing.<br>
A4: Be Open to Processes and Outcomes<br>
Don’t be attached to Processes or Outcomes or
Logic. <br>
Stay open to Surprises and Other Viewpoints. See what
emerges.</span></font><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
