Nice thoughts, Jon...
One of the greatest gifts in my life was given to me by the US Army...I
was allowed to serve and at the same time given the opportunity to
learn...learnings about OD freely given, and freely taken. Part of what
I've taken from the Army is that there is no greater gift than that which
is given unconditionally, and that which is taken, unconditionallly. I
learned from the Army (and from my truly gifted teachers and students)
that without each other freely giving and taking (without reservation)
there is no LO. That is, after all, what the spirit of learning is all
about.
