12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Tenneson -- As you probably know – my
mantra has been (for ever) “Think of one more thing NOT to do.” So
I am definitely in the simplicity pot, as it were. But when it comes to the “question”
– by which I suppose you mean the Theme, of course the Group decides. But
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>when</span></i> that decision is made may be
another question. If you are suggesting that the people make that decision
after they arrive – I am not sure that would work, for the simple reason
that I can’t imagine why they would bother to come in the first place. I
guess some people just go to meeting just to go to meetings. But I wouldn’t
be one of those people. Definitely one more thing not to do! On the other hand
when the theme is something that I care passionately about – believe me I
will be there. </span></font></p>

with OS and WC (and others). With each use, I look for ways to make it more
simple. I confess, I’m big on context and it takes some effort for me to
let go. With WC, I used to feel more strongly about naming the story, the
conditions, guidelines, posters, tables set, crisp question, etc. Yet recently,
I find myself almost just saying – “go” with a challenge to
think harvest while in it. OS has been like this for me also. </span></font></p>

that I don’t want to use all of the setup, but have just learned that I
can do it more simply, particularly when I have less time with them. In all,
for me it feels like my simple grounding in purpose and presence decomplicate. </span></font></p>
