size=4>In line with countless learning opportunities from ups and downs I
encountered in my life, the only thing I've decided is "Not to Give Up
the Path of the Innermost Indivisible Self." A life-long journey of eternal
quest indeed! The challenge seemed to lie in finding right companions
for that journey. Now, inviting people to Open Space, however, makes
it so much easier to find such folks who are or can be on that journey. From
then on, whatever we do adds up to another "High Play<->High Learning"
opportunitis. I enjoy this. How fascinating it is to live with the eternal
indivisible whole as we are with all the differences... ;-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I agree Harrison it is brilliant. And when I referred to open
space learning I meant it in the broadest of ways. i meant it in the way
where we are a drift in a sea of knowing not what and open to all the
possibility of interaction and relationship. I also love seeing the
expression of what we all hold dear, spoken as action as it is in the video.
We often look for concrete expressions of action as in plans and task
lists when we look to quantify the importance of the kind of meeting space that
open space permits. I most often think that a true expression of what we
hope has happened can't be quantified in that way. The expression we
really hope for is one that transforms how each of us does all the different
work we do. Expressions where evidence of the "tool" is at work fashioning
all the actions that come from our movement through our lives. We share a
dream for this. I am glad that it touched you.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Pat – Much
more than fascinating, it is absolutely brilliant. Truly it brought tears to
my eyes arising in part because of the consummate simplicity of the learning
experiment and its powerful result – but even more because it epitomizes
precisely what I believe we as a community should be about. And it is not just
about the education of children, important though that may be. The
possibilities are larger involving virtually every aspect of the human
endeavor. We have had the privilege of witnessing the power of self
organization at work doing things that most of our fellows, who have not had
that experience, will consider to be impossible. Open Space may have provided
the door way through which we might consciously enter the self
organizing world. But that is simply a beginning and the best is yet to come.
The first step is to push beyond the narrow focus on OST as a method or “tool”
– to begin to apply the central understandings to the vast array of human
undertakings – finance, marketing, food production, scientific research, and
on and on. Each application will be different and experimental, even as the
video you posted was different and experimental. And we cannot do it alone,
but we can be a powerful yeast that raises up some marvelous new loafs of
bread. I confess that over the past few months as I have been reading OSLIST,
I have totally enjoyed the warmth of the community and our willingness to
support each other as required – holding space for a venture. But I have also
longed for something more and deeper. And Pat, I think you might just have
opened a way. Thank you!</SPAN></P>
