<p>Ralph came to the last OT gathering which was held in Milwaukee, WI. He was riding his bicycle across the country and made this one of his resting places where he and his wife could meet up for a few days. They both contributed richly to the open space and I was glad to have met them. <br>

<br>
<font size="4">I first met Ralph at the 1998 OSonOS in Monterrey. I was one of the co-hosts. The event had gotten off to a rocky start. The second morning during the opening circle, a challenging and emotional reflection began around who's "in" and who's "out". I was sitting quietly breathing, staying grounded as this remarkably intense exchange took place. When it ended, the man sitting next to me, who I didn't know -- Ralph Copleman -- turned to me and asked if I was okay. I fell in love with him in that moment. He was holding the space for me as I held the space for the group.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="4">I am grateful for the years of laughter and wisdom from Ralph, much of it archived on this list.</font><br>

The program will go on and Ralph will be there as that indomitable, humorous Spirit he has always been. Ralph showed up here on the list as a regular from the very beginning. I will remember him best for his soliloquy, “Everything is Moving, Everything is moving.” A very simple phrase which goes to the heart of it all, I think.</font><br>
