OK, all you Harvesters! There's work to be done! Lovely, luscious crops out in the field that will rot and go stale if we do not collect them, process them and cook make them into "digestible meals" to feed our ongoing inquiry!
Again, I offer this simple process:
- Try taking fifteen or twenty minutes to do the following
- Browse through the "#Occupy 2.0" discussion and identify one or two things you find compelling. Look for things such as:
- Specific phrases, paragraphs or posts
- General ideas, themes, patterns or questions
- Things that surprised you or challenged you in some way.
- Post each individual gleaning separately here in this discussion (i.e. if you found three things you wanted to harvest, give them each their own post).
- Note that you can link to specific posts from the main discussion so that it is easy to find the original post you are referring to or quoting from:
- Click the little chain link icon that appears at the top of each post, just before the words "reply by" and the name of the person posting.
- Copy the url that appears in your browser
- Paste it into your harvest posting here.
Many hands make light work!
You might also reflect on this classic "question for all seasons," courtesy of The World Cafe: Shaping Our Futures Through Conversations that Matter:
What is taking shape here? What are we hearing underneath the variety of opinions being expressed? What is in the center of our listening?
