We’re reading the same books! 😉 As usual your blog is full of great nuggets, but what I was struck by was the concept of interstitial time, “or the time and space between people in which genuine human interaction can take place.” It reminds of some things I read about brain states and how the quality and sensation of time changes with them. Is there another reference for it, or was that something your co-author / edition just threw out en passant? It’s stickier for me, in a good way, than two-way harmony.

I actually focused on the term because Jenn and Mara mentioned their ideas on it to me when were in Columbia. They refer to the physical interstitial; I think Franco has a more mental process in mind (though they are of course related). A few folks in the peacebuilding world are looking a neuroscience research but rarely to get at how we, ourselves, act. There is a consortium of younger people/organizations who are taking that and more on from a perspective the overlaps a lot with the Zebras. In the short run, check out www.howtobuildup.org.

Thanks for taking the time to read and commnent. Before 7 AM your time.
