-- Love the poem. And I find the serendipitous ridiculousness of <BR>writing
poems about a "meeting methodology" particularly appealing. Maybe<BR>somebody
has done it, but I have yet to see an "Ode to Real Time Strategic<BR>Change,"
A Sonnet in honor of Appreciative Inquiry, or blank verse charting <BR>a
Future Search. But then again it may not be about a "meeting
methodology?"<BR><BR>Harrison<BR><BR>Harrison Owen<BR>7808 River Falls

nonsense,<BR> in and out of
time,<BR> the
swirling mass
matters,<BR> the
deep

one knows, but all know, unspoken,
<BR> rising
waters, sinking
tides,<BR> the
Spirit moving<BR>over the
deep,<BR> order
from <BR>chaos,<BR><BR>chaos from
order,<BR><BR>silence,<BR> out<BR>of
the
whirlwind,<BR> out
of the fragments of
<BR>disconnects,<BR> a
subtle voice
emerges,<BR> whispers,<BR> shouts,<BR> a
new song,<BR> a new
order,<BR> new
connections,<BR> playing
with and through
us;<BR> Is
it all for naught,<BR> or is it
naught that opens the
way?<BR><BR>*<BR>*<BR>==========================================================<BR><A
