Ephemeralization and etherialization
Ephemeralization and etherialization seem right, but reverse or maybe inside out: this is not how reality ends but starts. Then unfolds and enfolds, iterating, emerging, arising, ever moving.

Concentrated effort on specific big pictures
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.

what is the same?
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

on the stage
where all contribute with all

We are ways
We are ways,
waves, verbs,
energy, relationships,
we are the way
more, much more

energy flow
Not only does the self organizing system need a constant flow of energy to be alive, but to be alive the components need the energy flow in the system. To be alive, we need to be connected to the energy flowing through our systems, be they bodies, bodies politic, companies, or social systems. The system’s life gives life to its members.

a pattern of differences
Conversation is a pattern of differences
Energy flows, dissipates in all directions
Into a new order
A beginning, a muddle,
And a new beginning…
The muddle is necessary
The uncomfortable seed-bed

I still want to talk in things. We can’t. Moving, birthing, meeting.

‘S no big deal:
‘S no big deal: Life is how you look at it, a choice of metaphors. Some people see billiard balls. Some see webs. I see webs of waves. All are right. All are wrong.

a system including participation and reflection
Conversing is a system including participation and reflection. Reflection is a system including generation, circulation, and ventilation. Participation is a system including contributing and accepting.
