So much depth and wisdom in just a few paragraphs. Made me happy to read it, like coming home. When I got to the bit where you write about the silence and about coming home, I realized that was exactly what was happening to me in that very moment. And it is what has happened to me every time I opened space for others or was taking part in an open space gathering.

I said I would try, but always following my fundamental dictum (Never work harder than you have to) I suggested doing one for all. It is a preface and you could stick it anywhere... maybe. Easy said -- but I never quite figured how hard it might be to summarize 60 years of thinking into a page and a bit. I have no idea if I have succeeded, But you might -- and if not let me know, and I"ll try to do better.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Harrison<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>7808 River Falls Drive</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Potomac, MD 20854 USA</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>301-365-2093</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
