am very stirred up and feel compelled to share an open space that ended last night:
This is the first time I felt the endless joy of the experienced surfers, sea
gliders, or so I imagine. The fact is I am not a very sporty person yet I adore
professional, effortless performance in any field or walk. I can not tell you
how happy I am and not even know where to start.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

until now I was working from an internal metaphor of a midwife: cleaning,
preparing the physical space, preparing the birth-giver with some exercise and
assurance as someone who has real confidence in the delivery process and in
every birth-giver; of service, attending the needs, remembering this is not my baby,
cherishing the moment of birth and breath.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

me the last two days were very powerful and precious days in open space. 180 people

division of an Israeli global company, gathered in </span></font><st1:place><span

face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'> right by the Mediterranean
sea-shore. "Daniel's cage of lions" by the sea…. opened way for me to
extremely powerful vision of myself as a surfer, free and joyous (great for me
who doesn't muster any physical mussel that well….). Why surfer? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:

of the participants came to congratulate for the good work :"it must be
hard to direct and navigate 180 people when you do not have a predetermined
agenda, and you did it so graciously well", he said. I found myself pondering…
and there came the glider's metaphor: "As I worked with you I had no sense
of myself as navigating or directing I had the sense of surfing the sea: being totally
there, attuned and open; listing with love and care and letting myself be led
to were it needs to go. I trust the sea and I trust you people in a way that
can be contagious." I heard the dimes ringing in his mind as new insights
were popping. That was fun!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:
embed'><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>As
a surfer, if I try to stretch this metaphor a bit longer, I love and respect
the sea, know it and trust it. I give myself and surrender to its mysterious
powers yet I am confident every ride will have its unique life, surprises and
teachings and even if it will be rough at the end we shall all make it to the shore
(usually wet and full of delight).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
