often, “<i><span style='font-style:italic'>be prepared to be surprised</span></i>…”

“appropriate” OS poet laureate fashion [grin], I found myself humming a little
Cole Porter tune that always makes me smile, which prompted some wondering
about the poetry of song here in Open Space, so instead of a traditional poem,
I offer a question or two that may inspire more poems…and questions…and
ditties, tunes, and lyrics: If there is a soundtrack for Open Space, what
songs are playing in the space of Open Space? How does song show up in
Open Space? What tunes and lyrics, if any, wander through heart and mind
as you walk the circle and pick-up cups? What songs whistle and hum
through your lips? What do you hear as you linger longer in various
states of space?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
