Hi Catherine...<br><br>It may well get printed...whatever happens is the only thing that could have...:-) If the passion showed up to get it into print, that would be fine, but it would still be always free on my site.<br>
<br>In the abscence of it being printed and for sale, please simply pass it on and if you feel the need to offer something for it, let me suggest that instead of paying me, you find a worthy group of people and offer them an Open Space event for free. And post here you learnings from that offering...that feels like a good way to honour the spirit of this endeavour.
<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Chris<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/28/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Catherine Pfaehler</b> <<a href="mailto:c.pfaehler@bluewin.ch">c.pfaehler@bluewin.ch</a>> wrote:</span>

A deep bow....nay.... a prostration of gratitude for the sharing of this <br>
wonderful book.<br>
The Tao Te Ching often comes to mind when contemplating the<br>
indescribable essence of Open Space.<br>
Thanks again for this deeply distilled and long gestated work.<br>
It will reside beside my well thumbed User's Guide, and Ms. Heft's Idea <br>
Book.<br>
It would also nestle well with Douglas Harding's "On Having No Head".<br>
<br>
"You are holding this space.You have all of<br>
creation in your hands,like a delicate glass<br>
ball.You must simply allow it to rest there, <br>
and let the people draw on the echoes<br>
planted in their genes,and continue the<br>
journey of evolution together."<br>
<br>
<br>
This makes my spine tingle.<br>
