[...] Houston Reflections: The question why Why on earth did I go to Houston, Texas? Everything begins in London im Mai in May of this year. I met nice people, English and American alike, there and recognized that there are otheres around the globe asking the same questions which encorauged me a lot.

My thinking and acting changed since London and it was a good thing to stay in contact with these other guys, thinking ahead, being challenged and yet encouraged, valued and appreciated. That was probably the main reason why I did go to Houston, being again Part of a community, that is on a simliar way, respecting and learning from each other.

Having left early, I must say I don’t know the answers yet, but am in good hope, that this conversation and the reason why I have been there will bear fruit in its own time. I love being part of this thing. [...]

Oh I didn’t know. Hm. Things we don’t know we take easily for granted. Thanks for reminding me…

Bjoern I love what you write here but would like to question the use of the term “normal” in relation to the house that we rented. There was not much that was normal for a Londoner about having the use of this £2 million house for a week. But then the whole week was like this. A beautiful fun time…

I like the line, “like we were raised to do” in referance to shaking hands. It was a nice relational conferance.
