<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>I had such a strange sensation today when I
didn't get my daily dose of OS gift exchanges. Everyone must be
busy packing for Halifax. I too will be on my way in the morning. I won't be
arriving in Halifax where I so long to be among you...I'll be driving in
the treacherous heatwave through the Rocky Mountains from Seattle to
Aurora, Colorado, where my 13 year old daughter Emma will be playing center
field for the Lady Sharks in the National Championship Playoffs all next week. I
love the opportunity to be a mother and participate in her life in this way. I'm
glad I can still share the OS experience through the postings. It's also heart
warming to know that some of you are rooting for Emma and will be asking how she
did when you get back. Save a place for us in the circle where magic happens.

face-to-face is so important, when possible, for deepening connections,
exploring and experimenting on things with a group of diverse people (I tend
to try things each year that may use different modalities than text and
sometimes even without conversation - hard to do in the virtual world),
sharing song and wine together in the evenings, and finding great partners for
facilitation projects to come. <SPAN
