<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I have been on a journey….an Open
Space journey. Oh the joys of it and the pains of it. I have felt,
I have learned, I have worked and I have suffered the angst of my controlling
way intermingled with gratitude and joy when I let go. Those who read me
on this OS board know that I fell in love with Open Space last April
and when you’re in love, you want it to be part of your life everywhere and all
the time. It touched me because it felt so right for the hurt that I feel in
the world now, right for the individual who feels stressed, pulled, confused
and not knowing what to do about it and how to balance joy and survival. It
felt right because the large systems out there are no longer working. Big
is not always better, mergers do not deliver efficiencies, speed does not mean
higher performance at cheaper cost, cheaper and cutting costs does not energize
and deliver quality, being smart or smarter often makes others feel less smart
and more doubtful about themselves. Who we are on the hierarchy does not make
us more important or valuable. Having all the answers and projecting this
certitude without honoring the questions and asking ourselves why am I doing
this anyway, does not lead to happiness. This stuff is not the stuff that
relationships are made of and without relationships, in nature and in life,
where would we be?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Now don’t get me wrong, there is
much in the world that is so beautiful. The smile I get at the grocery story,
the stranger who shares his story waiting in line somewhere, the sun shining
outside and the birds chirping everywhere, my couch, my cup of coffee, the
artists practicing their craft, the youth who astound me every day with their
deep knowing of so many things, the friends and family so familiar, so cozy, so
comfortable, and me, filled with such gratitude to have them. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'> And yet I know down deep, I
cannot ignore that the world is aching. I feel the fear and the hurt of it and
I want to help make it better in my own small way with others. It means
taking care of myself in the process, not changing or fixing, and finding that
sweet spot that reminds us all, that we’re in this together and for me right
now, that sweet spot is Open Space. It’s the place where we can all
imagine together how the world could be and when we trust that life is that
way, it’s the place where people find each other to get real and good stuff
done. Oh the wonder of it all!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'> So it is in this spirit
immersed in Open Space on a project in Florida right now, having just returned
from Taiwan and looking forward to sinking into wonderful Open Space
conversations in Orillia near Toronto, Canada with Harrison, Larry, Rhonda,
Diane, Erika, Louie and so many others that I extend this
invitation. If you feel like being spontaneous or know someone who
does, there’s still room and there’s still time to join us. Pay it
forward, pass it on. There will be some seriously good talk there.
We only live once after all!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
