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>
