<DIV><FONT size=3>the contagiousness of that trust really excites me right now. i think about the rippling effects that such trust has. it's amazing how filled with power that trust is. you all know the kind of power i'm referring to, not the president bush-y kind of power, more like the mysterious power of the sea.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal dir=ltr style="DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I 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>
<P class=MsoNormal dir=ltr style="DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Up 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>

<P class=MsoNormal dir=ltr style="DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">For me the last two days were very powerful and precious days in open space. 180 people (160 of them were men) from High-tech net-work communication, an optical division of an Israeli global company, gathered in </SPAN></FONT><st1:place><SPAN class=SpellE><FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Ashkelon</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></st1:place><FONT 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="DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">One 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="DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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>
