<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">The events in Paris have caught our
attention. However, with deepest respect and sympathy for my
Parisian friends (Christine in particular), the simple truth
is that the human toll (127 and counting) is only the daily
score in many troubled spots of the world. You can name them
as well as I. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And Mr Holland, President of France,
declaring, “This is an act of War,” and “promising”
retaliation of whatever sort -- is quite understandable. Of
course he also (according to the American Press) closed the
borders. Again understandable, but curious.... especially when
it appears that some substantial portion of the combatants
(enemy) are French. Somehow the enemy is us.... This is not
your grandfather’s war.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or Something.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any human being who claims to understand
what is going on, and feels competent to prescribe the
specific solution (close the borders, open the borders, ban
the immigrants, welcome the immigrants, shoot them all,
whatever) is, in my humble judgment, quite mad. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I, however, will venture one affirmative
(positive) statement. We (That’s all 7 ½ Billion of us) are in
a Transformative Moment. How long it will last, and what the
end result will be, I don’t have a clue. But I do believe that
it will take all 7 ½ billion of us, working together, to solve
the issues at hand. Tall order, to be sure. Then again, we
have had some several hundred thousand years’ practice. And to
date – despite all odds – we’re still here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the magic sauce?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do know some things it’s (special sauce)
NOT: a special program, ideology, methodology, tool,
technique, intervention, practice, discipline...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is.... something that has been around a
lot longer, much more basic and fundamental.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You guessed it. Self Organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We did not invent it. Certainly didn’t
create it. But we can help, I do believe. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Open Space wherever, whenever, however,
with whom-so-ever as often as you can. If nothing else, it
will give you something to do during this Transformative
Moment.<o:p></o:p></p>
