else) to “get” open space?<BR><BR>On occasions, when someone has arrived late
for an OS meeting I’m facilitating, I’ve often seen the following. The
person in question wants to get into the stream of things, so s/he usually
seeks out someone s/he knows. Then follows an extremely brief exchange
that usually includes a little pointing toward the relevant wall, a nod or
two, and the two move off in different directions, with the latecomer heading
toward that wall.<BR><BR>I have taken all that time to provide as efficient
and brief an opening as I know how, and then I see the whole thing delivered
in about ten seconds to a complete newcomer.<BR><BR>People get it, I think in
part, because to participate in open space, there’s fundamentally nothing new
they have to learn. They join some conversations, listen, speak from
time to time, move around, eat something, etc. If we insist people “get
it” on some deeper level that’s unnecessary for them to give what they came to
contribute or learn what they came to learn, then we may be stressing
ourselves uselessly.<BR><BR>If less is more for us, it needs to be so, in our
minds, for participants as well.<BR><BR>So not only will they get it, Joanna,
they already do!<BR><BR>Ralph Copleman</SPAN></FONT> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>* *
