style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:black'>Well let me
see. I have done a few facilitation jobs in Texas – in Houston, San
Antonio and in the swamps of…well, it’s what…east about an
hour from Houston? And Fort Worth.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:black'>I’m
afraid I did not get to see much of Fort Worth – just restaurants and the
neighborhood around that conference site. But I met some smart and
creative people from the area at that conference. In Houston there is a
fabulous museum, The Menil Collection (<a href="http://www.menil.org/">http://www.menil.org</a>),
among other things. And a dear friend of mine, the artist and teacher,
Patrick Palmer (<a href="http://www.patrickpalmerart.com/">http://www.patrickpalmerart.com</a>
), and some great folks who work in southern US AIDS organizations who came to
a workshop I gave there. And Jimmy Pryor, Diana Petrocelli and others on
this list can share what residents love about Houston. In San Antonio
there is a lovely group of OpenSpaceniks, who I had the pleasure of working
with as they learned Open Space for use in their community. Warm, dedicated,
playful and spiritual folks. Good food and nice walks. Linda
Ximenes and others can share what they love about San Antonio. And in the
swamps I met also some fabulous people who hosted a bunch of us from all over
the US, plus I met some raccoons, alligators, horses and other four-footed
folk. </span></font></p>

lucky that wherever I go for work, it is the kind of work (like Open Space,
AIDS education and other things involving co-learning) that draws together
really thoughtful, warm and creative people. </span></font></p>

the luckiest girl in the world because of the work I get to do and the people I
get to work with…Texas and other parts of the US, Zambia, Canada, Brazil,
Spain, South Africa, and other marvelous places. But I’ve never
been to Oxford. </span></font></p>
