Thanks to all for this important discussion. Certainly the Wikipedia flaw<br>
has drawn some attention through this.<br>
<br>
Please, if you know of a recent - 2004 and beyond - "peer reviewed"<br>
publication about OST or a book that includes or focuses on OST (other than<br>
Harrison's, Peg's or Bunker & Alban) please provide that citation here, to<br>
Michael Herman or on the ning site. The current list is available at<br>

Subject: Re: [OSLIST] re honouring each other<br>
<br>
Wendy. Thank you for laying your heart in the field. For engaging in<br>
the art of irime, the aikido art of entering. How we enter is<br>
important - we all know that moment we step over the boundary and into<br>
the center if the circle to open space. It i<br>
s a place that demands great consciousness if that entering itself is<br>
to be in service of life and not in service of oneself.<br>
<br>
Thank you for reminding me of that.<br>
<br>
Chris<br>
