Great to hear from you Kairi. Estonia continues to inspire me. One day I'll get there...in the meantime, thank you for setting the example for us in the rest of the world.<br><br>Chris<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">White Tulips movement – we started it
here in Estonia with a group of friends, 20 young Estonians with
Estonian and Russian origin,
who have the vision that all nationalities should live friendly within
our
communities. As the relocation of the II World War monument in Tallinn
to its
new home in the soldier's graveyard resulted in tensions between
Estonian
Russians and Estonians, the White Tulips -movement started to spread
their
peaceful message of not hating anyone and that even the Estonians and
Estonian
Russians may have different pasts, they have common future.<br>
<br>
All Estonians and Estonian Russians have been called to place white
flowers (if
possible white tulips) to sites and events of importance for both
Russians and
Estonians as a sign of respect, dignity and peace. <br>

many of you will have noticed, temperatures are definitely rising
in<br>Estonia.
The situation is obviously delicate and critical - and right in
the<br>middle of
it is one of our friends, Mikk Sarv. I met Mikk some years ago and
<br>he wanted
to bring Open Space to Estonia - which he has done! I did a<br>training
program
there, and he has done many more since. He also arranged<br>for the
translation
of The User's Guide into Estonia. Mikk does not live in <br>Tallinn (the
capitol) but his son does - and Estonia is by no means a
large<br>country, so
nobody lives very far from anything. Mikk says he is talking to<br>his
fellow
"spaceniks" about the possibilities of opening some space for
<br>conversations
that might bring the situation from the level of overt<br>confrontation
down to
something more useful. Lots of luck Mikk! You are in<br>our thoughts and
prayers. If you want to send Mikk a note, his email is <br><a href="mailto:mikk@ilm.ee" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">mikk@ilm.ee</a><br><br><br>Harrison<br><br></blockquote><br>
