WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ARE TOO POLITE!!!!<br><br>just kidding. couldn't resist.<br><br>I have been in many Open Space's with Canadians and have experienced lots of movement. I find that speaking clearly the value of the movement in the system and giving good attention to the butterfly and bumblebee piece is valuable, and it generally works well especially as the space opens and people get a feel for it. I have experienced people politely using their two feet also ("thanks - bye .....") and lots of passion for the process and excitement at the invitation to move about, dive into the middle for pens and such.<br>
<br>Interested to hear from others if you have noticed a pattern of less movement in Canada. Not in our house anyway. :)<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Caitlin.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 7:08 PM, Bui Petersen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bui.petersen@gmail.com">bui.petersen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Anyone else had that experience? And if that is the case, what can be done about that? I did not grow up in Canada, so it is not in my blood to be that polite. I actually have a hard time understanding why anyone would put up with people dominating conversations.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>

</blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>The gentlest thing in the world is an open mind. Since it doesn't believe what it thinks, it is flexible, porous, without opposition, without defense. Nothing has power over it. Nothing can resist it. Even the hardest thing in the world - a closed mind - can't resist the power of openness. Ultimately the truth flows into it and through it, like water through rock.<br>
