<P align=left><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Peggy and
all,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P align=left><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>What a rich
conversation! What wonderful questions to sit with!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P align=left><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is coming up for
me, Peggy, is that it is not a new technology that we are waiting to see
emerge, but rather that we are witnessing the growing pains of a new
competency</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2> in open space. I was blessed to experience rich
butterfly behaviour in Moscow at OSonOS</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>X</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2>IV. Pairings and small groups sprang up,
unposted, all about the space, over all three days. These groups
honoured the principles and the law of OS and flourished in it. There
were very personal, intimate conversations that occurred
there</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial
size=2>—</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2>deep</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>and lasting relationships formed. And each
person</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2> witnessed, had the openness, the energy, and the courage to
trust</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>in</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT
face=Arial size=2>Spirit and</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial size=2>in the practice of deep invitation. Even
in the most delicate of conversat</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>ions, a newcomer was welcomed in as the
right person at the right time. I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>suggest</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2> this is the edge of a new competence emerging in OS
events</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial
size=2>—</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2>that</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>OST, when embodied fully, can bring as rich rewards to
our relationships as it has to our innovations in
organizations</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2>—</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>with no alteration in the technology.
I sense that the private meetings, the limited invitation</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial
size=2>s</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2>,</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>are</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2> a</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial size=2>relic of our
pre-OS consciousness that we are ever more quickly
transcending. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>That the urge to non-convene? a</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>group</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2> of one, two or more people will grow. That
the</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>participants</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2>’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT face=Arial size=2>trust in the field
to generate the</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT
face=Arial size=2>precise invitation required will grow. The right
people, the right time, whatever happens, be
prepared. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca> <FONT
face=Arial size=2>I suggest that as participants</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial

face=Arial size=2> capacity to sense the energy of the field
and</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT face=Arial
size=2> to</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-ca><FONT
face=Arial size=2> work with it grows, the need to exert external controls
will dissipate. </FONT></SPAN></P>
