<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Precious People.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Since I met Helen Patterson and was
introduced to OST, I have been thinking about it and it's
various forms, or at least as many of them that I can keep up with. I
have been part of this ListServe for a year I think.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Each and everyday I read pretty
much everything that comes through onto my screen. I very very
seldom delete something before entering into the content. Each thought,
each key stroke is a signal, a message. </FONT><FONT
face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>These stories, threads and culture are a
wonderful phenomena. </FONT><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080
size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>I read, I look, I breath, I
am engaged, enthralled and excited.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>I talk about it and call this
sharing what I'm interested in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Is there more?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Perhaps!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Perhaps </FONT><FONT
face=Papyrus><FONT color=#000080 size=2>there is something about
<STRONG>Outcomes</STRONG> that are like attachments and little holding on
moments? Are outcomes like significance?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus><FONT color=#000080 size=2>People want them, so
what. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus><FONT color=#000080 size=2>People want Peace too and do
not always create the environment for Peace to grow. The image
of 'sourdough culture' and 'mother culture' is a story wherein the environment
for growth and expansion must be appropriate and integrated. The bakers
and cheese makers, beer makers and wine, sauerkraut, pickled onions and miso
makers knew this..they knew it was in the wooden tools they used, in the tubs,
under the floorboards, in their sweat and spittle.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>We are not separate
from our stories.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>The idea that we are or can be is
simply a degree of leave-taking, division, distraction, partition, disconnection
and splitting up. Responsibility is here somewhere. Ultimately we
reintegrate, we migrate and we become our story.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>And like so, manifestation is
perfectly aligned with what is available and sustainable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>Outcomes are potentials and
possibly also "picnics and merry gossip" ( attrib to Herman
Aihara)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Papyrus color=#000080 size=2>I created a meaning called
Food Stories. This because I am what people call a chef/a cook and now a
foodie( a fanatic) and I came to believe that we all have a Food
Story. It began in the womb, it began with our ancestors. We are
already Outcomes.</FONT></DIV>
