The space that we made together as a group opened a space within me
that had been closed for a very long time. It was a space in which I could
accept love without questioning it and I could give it back without reservation.
I could speak my truth without filtering it. I could listen to the truth
of others without argument. Open Space was a place for healing hands, loving
hugs, new friendships, rowdy laughter, insight into the beauty of an "ugly"
stick with all of its implications, the giving and receiving of one another's
talents, a deer in the darkness, the blessing of the word made flesh. Now
it is the warmth at my back.
