I did “acknowledge” a “lot of stuff in the air” – and carefully did not “name the issues” – which as I said – I didn’t know or certainly understand. But even if I had really known the issues and understood them I would have been as vague as possible. Vagueness can be slippery, but it creates a lot of space and people fill in the blanks as only they can do.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; ">Oh yes – The People. Can you really trust them? My experience is that you don’t have much choice, and one thing you can trust is that given the space The People will make choices that they perceive to be life enhancing. Of course, other People may have a different perception and there are times when these perceptions are at odds, sometimes catastrophically – productive of lots of chaos, confusion and conflict. The usual response is to clamp down on the situation and bring The People (whichever people) into line. The net effect is an intensification and polarization of the situation. Opening space goes in the opposite direction – creating an environment in which there is sufficient room to find common ground. I think this is what Peace making is all about. If you are interested in all of that you might take a look at my book, “The Practice of Peace.”</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red;

Specifically, in two really intense situations (one was the Israelis and Palestinians I worked with in Rome) – when I knew there was some really heavy duty baggage coming in the door I opened the space just about as much as I could. Not to be mysterious, when the people arrived for the morning circle, I greeted them and simply acknowledged the tension in the air. I didn’t go into details, because I really didn’t know what they were, but there was no question that the temperature was high and going higher. After that acknowledgement I said something to the effect that I felt we were at a point of choosing. We could all choose to go home (mad, sad, whatever) or we could confront the elephant in our midst. To assist our choosing I proposed a one hour break. People were invited to go wherever they wished, and at the end of an hour, those who so desired could return, and we would take it from there. I did not offer any opportunity for discussion, but simply left the circle myself.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P><DIV><DIV style="margin-left:.5in"><DIV style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="apple-style-span"><FONT size="1" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:5.5pt;font-family:Arial; color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 7.33333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 7.33333px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV></DIV><P class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="apple-style-span"><FONT size="1" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:5.5pt;font-family:Arial; color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 7.33333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 7.33333px; ">Precisely one hour later I came back, not having any sort of clue as to who might be there upon my return.

Once done, however, the action planning rolled out in a very natural and organic fashion. People just made deals and promises. Most surprising, everything came to a conclusion at precisely the announced stopping time – well more or less – because then we had lunch, and the plans and promises continued throughout the meal.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P><DIV><DIV style="margin-left:.5in"><DIV style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="apple-style-span"><FONT size="1" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:5.5pt;font-family:Arial; color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 7.33333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 7.33333px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV></DIV><P class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="apple-style-span"><FONT size="1" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:5.5pt;font-family:Arial; color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 7.33333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 7.33333px; ">I must confess that in the first instance, it was pretty much of a “Hail Mary” (Americanism for “desperation play.”). Truthfully, I couldn’t think of anything else. But the second time around it was very conscious and intentional on my part. I am not sure which one was better, but the second situation surely felt better to me. More to the point, given the same or a similar situation I would do the same thing again. My learning was profound, confirming what I already knew, but tended to forget. Open the space so the people can make their own way, and they will take care of the business.
