Thanks Marilyn for the origin stories of the 20 Principles Code and the Polity Document. -- Wondering if anyone might have a "20 Principles-in-Action" you still carry with you from those 20th C times? Here is one I carry around re: 5. Each member has a gift to be developed and offered. One time in the early 1970s Wayne and Jo Nelson, Eleen Tickner and I were 6th grade trek leaders in the middle of the deep North Woods with 40 kids. We pulled up in an old school bus in an empty field, empty like a clean sheet of paper. Elaine Butcher got off the bus and looked around. She was brushing her hair casually and chewing bubble gum said" Where is the lady's bathroom?" Wayne reached into the back of the bus and handed her a shovel and said: "About 25 yards over there, behind the bushes." There were shocks of amazement all around, especially Elaine as she tentatively took the shovel. Iron woman set out to build the lady latrines. It was the beginning of the social pioneering in that field of that mysterious Northwoods community aka the 6th grade trek. At the camp fire that night, Wayne began reading a sci-fi coming of age story set in the future. Later we read one I think about a cave man. Great campfire stories. Can't remember the titles though. Got a 20 Principles Code story you still carry around? -- Steve Harrington
17. Only criticize with an alternative model to offer. I was assigned to the Lorimor Human Development Project (Iowa) and was helping host the HDP School. I found myself at odds with the curriculum and the set up of the program. Jim Wiegel was in Lorimor helping with the preliminary set-up and he was listening to my grumblings. After several minutes he asked, "Well Jan, what is your three point plan?" A scratch your eyes out moment or time for growth and realization that I had choice and was an active creator of the consensus. Jim, did I ever thank you? It has made all the difference in my life. ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve har" <stevehar11201@gmail.com> To: <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 11:11 AM Subject: [Dialogue] 20 Principles Code Stories?

It occurs to me that the moments that have made all the difference would be a fabulous book of wisdom.
