I surely get the picture, understand the drift, but my perspective may be a little different. As the father of 5 and grandfather of 6 (last one still too small to ride…yet) I know something of training wheels and holding on to the back of the seat. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>First for the training wheels. Fantastic invention. Provides a relatively painless introduction to the great art of cycling while offering relief to the aching back of the parent (you don’t have to bend over while running).

There comes a time when the training wheels come off, but still a little learning to do in preparation for the solo ride. Your “Steady Hand” can help with the transition. But at a price. You get to stoop and run a lot. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>L</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> But Thank God – Most kids get it real quick, maybe even quicker than they should, and always faster than their parents. But that is what youth is all about. Suddenly you find yourself running a lot faster than you really wanted to. Of course, you could try to hold on, but that only creates a lose/lose situation. You get pooped and the kid gets frustrated. Answer? Let go!! Lesson for Open Space? I think it is the same thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Sooner or later we come to the whole matter of STOPPING. You can be assured that one way or another, and hopefully without a great deal of pain and destruction… Stopping will take place and the ride will end. It could well be that some handholding and a band aid or two will be needed, but for the most part a lot of cheering from the curb, along with some small amount of coaching, will take care of the business. As it turns out, there is more to riding a bike than pumping the peddles, but that is just details.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>When it is all over there is the marvelous opportunity for some great conversation along with a suitable libation. A Coke will do, but there are alternatives for the parent. Just think of all the rides to come and the possibility of shared adventures… On your own, Kid and you can forget about training wheels and the helping hand. And with a little luck, you can share your new found knowledge and skills with your younger siblings. YES!

But at the end of the day, I find myself in full agreement with friend Chris Corrigan who aptly described Open Space as “training wheels.” Training wheels are very helpful when you are learning to ride a bike, but you want to get rid of them as soon as possible. We aren’t there yet, and there is still a place for “doing” an Open Space – and doing it as well and simply as possible. But I always do it with a strong caveat, warning, or perhaps a plea. Just remember, I say, there is absolutely nothing I am doing with you that you can’t do for yourself. It ain’t rocket science! I have been doing (saying) that for a long time. And now I think I would raise the ante – Don’t just “Do” an Open Space – BE it 24X7!! Open the space of your life and the lives of those around you, and you will discover your own natural state, as a participant in this wonderful self-organizing world. Good old OST has been very useful, to say nothing of fun, as a training environment and a grand experiment. But when the lessons are learned and the data is in – it is time to get on with life, as soon as possible. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>As I said, we (as the global collective) are obviously not there yet – but I think I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Confusion!! Reminds me of days long ago when I had a newsletter called “TWG Newsletter” In fact the letters stood for absolutely nothing at all – leading my friend Peter Vaill to muse that since they didn’t mean anything in particular, everybody was free to supply their own meanings. His offerings: “Those Who Grock,” “Transformation Without Gurus” – and a few more I can’t recall. This lead to sort of a contest with the latest offerings appearing in the “TWG News” (of course.) Actually, the simple solution to all of this is to recognize that it is all Open Space, call it whatever you like. Perhaps the best option is to call it nothing at all, in which case it (by whatever name) would simply disappear in a cloud of everydayness.
