From 'Open Space Technology - A Users Guide' by Harrison Owen. I have made selections from the original text and decided how to shape and punctuate it. I have removed all the other words from the book and none from the selected phrases.
The circle is the fundamental geometry
of human communication.
A circle has no head or feet,
no high or low
no sides to take;
in a circle people can simply be
with each other,
face to face.
The geometry of the circle
and the rhythm of breath.
Show Up
Be Present
Tell The Truth
Let It All Go.
Do nothing and remain
invisible.
Be prepared
to be
surprised.
Who ever heard of a square of friends?
