It was at OSonOS in Berlin in 2000. Among his many gifts, he was a poet. I turned a <a href="http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Florians-Poems.pdf" class="">pamphlet he created of his poems</a> about Open Space into a pdf. He called it "Weying in Open Space". He coined the term weying to speak of identity grounded in “we”. From a paper he wrote:</div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><i class=""><br class=""></i></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><i class=""> When boundaries connect as well as separate, then it is not a matter of here and there, not of we and you, but rather a matter of the distinction within the unit, it is a matter of unity in the network of complex structures.</i></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One thing that impressed me about Florian was his learning more English so that he could participate more in the Open Space community. I saw him at several OSonOS gatherings, including Vancouver, BC in 2001 and at the “Svenmark OSOnOS (Sweden/Denmark), where these pictures were taken in 2003:</div><div class=""><div class=""><a href="http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Florian.jpg" class="">http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Florian.jpg</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Florian-at-OSonOS-DenmarkDSCN3727.jpg" class="">http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Florian-at-OSonOS-DenmarkDSCN3727.jpg</a> </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I always had the sense that anything could happen when Florian was around.
