  • Please use the this space to share your thoughts now about Tom’s original question and what occurred for you over this past month of involvement: What do we, as members of the dialogue and deliberation community of practice, have to be and do to enable our most positive transformational impact in the face of emerging global crises which fundamentally challenge our business-as-usual habits and systems? 
  •  
  • Use the queries below if they help but don’t feel bound to respond to them or be in any way limited by them. Tell the stories and give the details that will make your ideas and experiences come alive. 
  •  
  • What you gained:  What new insights, challenges, ideas, inquiries, or actions came up for you from your participation this past month? What possibilities have opened up or been further reinforced?  
  •  
  • What you experienced: How did you feel or change at different points in this process? Which processes did you participate in? Which were new to you? For processes you’ve experienced before, what was it like doing them online? What worked for you, and why? What didn’t? How might you use or change these processes on another occasion? What about the web tools used? Maestro? Hackpads? Zoom (if you experienced that)? Any others?
  •  
  • What next: What are you doing, will do or might do as related at least in part to the question that brought us together and/or as a result of what we have done together? Who else would (might) you involve? 
 

My DandDTrans "Story"

Just wanted to stick my toe in the water here.  There's a lot in motion, and we'll have to see what fruit it bears.    I'll be back to say more as a few things come into focus.  For now -- if you get a chance, take a look at the "quote harvesting" framework I/we built -- at http://networknation.net/harvest.cfm
 
How is that going to grow?  Is the convening question "What is the role of D and D in the context of global meta-crises?" an on-going concern?  I'd say it is-- maybe in a very big-time way.  But how that pans out remains to be seen.  I want to hang out and explore what Juanita Brown called "the magic in the middle" -- and see how much magic emerges...
 
 

Comments on Bruce's Story

Ben Roberts, 2/6
Well, Bruce, I'm glad your toe is here. And I'm really glad you dove in with your whole body and soul to build the +Quote Harvester! And yes, much remains to be seen. And something is also complete, and in need of being celebrated. And so, my old friend, I celebrate this opportunity we have had to play together once again. And I'm excited by what we might find on the other side of the next "+adjacent possibility."
 
Note to Bruce's fans: here are some highlights of his prodigious textual output over the past month and a half in DandDTrans:
