<p dir="ltr">One thing I've noticed is that OST is not just about circles, it's about a field -- in which we can circle, or pair up, or be alone as we wish. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As a frequent butterfly, it was one of the early qualities I noticed and loved. Alone and wandering, or in a pair, I learned many things to bring back to the circle yet I never left the meeting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another way to say this is an old variant that says "preserve and protect the law of two feet."</p>
<p dir="ltr">My perspective then is that a good way to open space needs to open and honor the field beyond the circles.</p>

Jeff, <br>
<br>
Thank you for your question. Here are some possible motivations for
asking The Question (in no particular order): <br>
<br>
1. To know what OST actually is<br>
2. To discover what others think OST actually is<br>
3. To find out if there is a generally accepted "reference
definition" describing what OST actually is<br>
4. To be surprised by this or that response to "The Question"<br>
5. To raise a potentially important and potentially timely issue<br>
6. To discover who might demonstrate a sense of passion and
responsibility, ("and more," hint hint) around The Question<br>
<br>
Why do you ask "why do you ask?" , Jeff?<br>
<br>
Daniel <br>
