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>

When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are, <br>
you will keep saying again and again,"This is certainly not like<br>
we thought it was!" ( Rumi)<br>
<br>
We are very near to greatness: one step and we are safe: can we not take the
leap? (Emerson)<br>
