Harrison, <br>I added my voice of congratulations to the Mayor applauding his leadership and
describing the palpable energy I felt in reading the reports, listening
to the media clips (with Bruce Lundeen and the Mayor being interviewed) and also seeing the participant photos. <br><br> It makes me feel so proud to be part of this Open Space community knowing that the process unleashes people's energy and passion on issues that matter while building sustainable and close relationships in the process. <br>
<br>Reading the Mayor's words to you makes your heart jump because you can so feel his emotions, joy and gratitude. If Bruce Lundeen is out there reading this, congratulations to you and to everyone involved in this inspiring event! <br>

As you will have noticed, the Open Space on Sustainability took place in<br>
Harrisonburg. I am really impressed with what they did as a positive step in<br>
opening up (pun intended) the political process. And the Mayor seems to like<br>
it too. He wrote, "My inability to capture in words the energy and momentum<br>
this event created makes me wonder how I can thank you adequately for your<br>
method and personal interest in the event. But I know you're so familiar<br>
with such an afterglow that I can simply say, "Open Space worked as Open<br>
Space works", and know you'll be able to calibrate the depth of my thanks<br>
with the predictable amazing-ness of what this event caused and is causing."<br>
