<DIV>I LOVE it when things don't start at the "Appointed Time" . . . "Whenever it starts is the right time" has newfound meaning for the group. Creativity & Spirit get the time needed to emerge regardless of our schedules.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another bit I love about this is when the Sponsor is a "High Driver" - The last event I facilitated started 25 minutes after the appointed time - We had 2 full days to get things done - The sponsor was literally beside himself pointing to his watch . . . At the end of the day, he approached me quietly and told me that he was very glad we didn't push things - It had set the pace for the day and much was accomplished.</DIV>

<DIV>Oh - I do give @ 1.5 hours for Opening the Space and the marketplace . . . and strange as it may seem, the first sessions almost always start at the right time :-)</DIV>

<DIV>I'm wondering if the reason we are sometimes anxious about starting when not everyone is there is because it is our only moment to be the FACILITATOR. We get to walk around the circle, talk solemnly about the tasks of the day, breathe, LEAD. And we're a little reluctant to let go of that moment. Yet, as so many have already written, the latecomers learn quickly form the early birds, life goes on, topics are raised, discussions are held, etc etc etc...Another thing we have to let go.</DIV>
