about to start an OS-conference several participants warned me about one of the
participants who usually became kind of spaceinvader. This didn´t happen and he
was the one approaching me after the event sharing that he found this way of
working great and that he thinks the way he has been working may not have been
that efficient. He also asked were he can learn more about it and I guess he
bought "the book" as a starter. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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>

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>

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

division of an Israeli global company, gathered in

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?

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>

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>
