The Left Hand of Darkness

Its influence Scotty, but not influence as we know it ….Innovation and un-influence may well be linked, we Rosetta Stone have some methods in this space, and some of the forthcoming ideas on the software will focus on perspective shifts happening serendipitously, thus enabling self discover rather than direction.Anyone else out there with ideas?PS: not all new thinking is received well the first time. The Left Hand of Darkness is one of the most famous books in Science Fantasy and an all time best seller. However its first reception was not good.PPS: The full text of Corinthians 1:13 follows as its a great text and contains more wisdom in its 13 short lines than many a text book 1: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ?2: And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. ?3: And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. ?4: Charity suffereth long, and is kind, charity envieth not, charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ?5: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, ?6: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, ?7: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ?8: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail, whether there be tongues, they shall cease, whether there be knowledge, it Rosetta Stone Software shall vanish away. ?9: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. ?10: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. ?11: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ?12: For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. ?13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity.That of course is the King James version which contains more poetry (and meaning) to my mind that the revised standard. Little Simon weighs no more than 50 pounds soaking wet, but his unconscious competence on skis is pure magic to behold.My plan for the coming days is to talk largely about the more practical challenges and questions I have as an internal OD consultant (health care) and a Cognitive Edge practitioner. Specifically, how the role of project sponsors has played into narrative capture projects and how leadership does or doesn t support self-organizing systems. I have thoughts (mostly questions) about sustaining momentum after large scale interventions have taken place. I admit I have only limited experience here. I have a cascading schedule of emergency preparedness meetings this week related to swine flu, so that should be worthy of some discussion. And if I have made it appear that Rossland is nothing more than one big playground, I also volunteer as a commission member for my community s emerging sustainability plan “ a 20 year plan (much too short term Rosetta Stone Japanese a time horizon, or about right??) that is turning out to be a fascinating study of social networks being formally sanctioned by city councils.
