<DIV>Beautifully put, Jack. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And thanks to a few friends for pointing out that my post felt like anxious waiting rather than making stuff happen. I should be clear that I'm most grateful for the desk jobs that supported me to finish my PhD.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>During that walnuts & lemons phase I was opening space in community meetings at donated locations and passing a hat. Not a great funding nor survival strategy, alas.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I return to the inquiry, doctorate in hand, finding spaces to open for communities to connect and prepare for the Great Turning which seems ripe to emerge.</DIV>

What resonates is the futility of anxious waiting and marketing (sometimes the same thing). Much better, I've found, to just get busy and make something happen. It's actually a very good day when we get more known for making something happen! :) Anxiety, it seems, is never as rewarded as generosity. <BR><BR>with love, Jack<BR><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Jack Ricchiuto<BR><A href="http://www.designinglife.com/" target=_blank>www.DesigningLife.com</A> / 216.373.7475 (EST)<BR><BR>Announcing "Conscious Becoming", now available in paperback - visit ConsciousBecoming.com * * ========================================================== OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist </BLOCKQUOTE><br /><hr />Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live. <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_Wave2_sharelife_112007' target='_new'>Share now!</a></body>
