Fields

July 7, 2009 By Chris Corrigan Organization 3 Comments

Back in Halifax after a few days on PEI staying at Rob Paterson’s place.  Right next to the house we were in was a striking contrast in field ecology, comparing a monocultured wheat field with a former horse paddock which has become a meadow.  Rob and I spent the better part of an hour talking about these two fields and drawing analogies between them and the kinds of organizations we work with: some are monocultures and some are communities.  The above video is a five minute summary of some of the things we discovered on our own.

    Man, I love this video format! I’m ready to convert to video blogs right now.

    I really enjoyed this discussion of meadow and community. What a notion, simultaneously beautiful and practical, metaphoric and real.

    AND I get a better sense of your own presence to boot. Very cool.

    Thanks, Chris.
