<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Hi Ralph,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Thanks so much for your perspective on
this. It is both personally affirming and a very valuable mirror for
larger work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I sure hear you on forcing
intimacy! And there is something very rich about going both deep and
broad collectively. I think we were well served by holding
that as an intention without it being an imposition or
expectation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I'm looking forward to sharing what I'm
learning about the evolutionary stuff through the salons, reading, and my
own experiences. A couple shorts - OS is the most elegant way I
know to create the conditions for emergence in social systems. It
took me a while to figure out what the relationship is between emergence and
evolution. The way I've come to look at it is that emergence is the
growing edge or the learning edge of evolution; it's the place where the
leaps in novelty occur.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>More soon,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Times><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 18px">Peggy and
all,<BR><BR>Quite a story. My hat is off to you for work very, very well
done.<BR><BR>A few personal reactions...<BR><BR>€ The person who said your
bell-ringing was unnecessary was cruel and rude. I can find no excuse
for such poor behavior. He owes you an apology. You owe him
nothing. Just because you’re a facilitator and serving the community
does not give anyone the right to pick on you in public.<BR><BR>€ Folks who
make actual requests for intimacy as an outcome of a meeting may have issues
about their own inability to create and/or participate in intimate
relationships. Breadth from depth is a good concept, but I don’t want
“depth” prescribed or forced on me by a few folks who think they know what’s
important for everyone. As an introvert, I would hesitate to show up at
any gathering where the someone has deliberately set things up in this way.
I certainly wouldn’t want them applying this concept as an unconscious
way of dealing with their own needs.<BR><BR>€ I look forward to whatever
further contributions you care to make about the evolutionary/cosmological
aspects of that meeting. I’m something of a devotee of the “new story”.
I see the work I do in open space as the format and dynamics most
closely resembling the flaring forth and evolutional history of existence and
life.<BR><BR>Good going, Peg. Congratulations.<BR><BR>Ralph
