Think about the respiration we see in Open Space: is it a feedback loop? Of course it is a feedback loop: we have evening and morning news, we have new topics, we are in a closed structure, and new energy comes in.

Of course this describes life, too. In say a business we are not as intentional, and more unknowingly blindered. In Open Space we are open to diverse ideas and pictures. We are concentrated on one thing large. We are looking for a big picture of some one thing. And within that focused on action.

So the result is concentrated effort on specific big pictures, with specific practical action having a probability of arising. The reason for the probability is that new energy is flowing in (an open system: far from equilibrium), and that energy flows into a positive feedback loop that iterates through processes of reflection: generating, circulating, and ventilating.

The key is bringing in energy from outside, then running it all through reflective feedback loops.

The cells in your body
regenerate every few months
behold! a new person
yet you see the same
you have new experiences every day
you are a new person
yet you feel the same
what is the same? not what

:- Doug.

I need to figure out a way to break free
of my hold
yes do my therapy
on the stage
where all contribute with all

I do not have to explain all; I can say what is important now. I do not even have to remember the big picture, just this piece-event.

Please pass it on.

energy, relationships,
we are the way
