The New England Journal of Partnership, eh?  It gets my vote.  I read about
80 PEmails in the last hour and a half.  

I speak the language of intimacy with partners in the quest for knowing
ourselves.

BANKRUPT
Yes, something like I don't have enough cliches to pay for my speaking.  
The old ways don't work anymore.  I call it a "shortfall of wherewithall". 
What "I" bring to the party is insufficient.  Other input is needed,
dialogue, invention in community.

ACCOUNTABILITY
I'm accountable for the viability of the company I share with Renee (thanks
Brian).  I'm accountable for turning clients'  visions into work
environments, and running a profitable business at the same time (these do
not always go hand in hand...).  Like Larry, at home I'm accountable for
generating income, and for keeping the kitchen clean, doing the man chores,
music, and Renee's computers working..  You know, it seems like a lot of
"I" in these, starting out so often with "I'm accountable for..."
Maybe there's no individual accountability.  After all, doesn't it always
occur in relationship to someone or some group you're accountable TO?  And
isn't the stage built and acted upon by everyone concerned?

HURT
Women got a handle on this one I think - it was their collective writings
that distinguished the most for me.  Kate, the most penetrating hurt for me
is the kick-possibility-in-the-stomach one.  To the world I am accountable
to deliver new products.  And many an idea has been
less-than-well-received......Ouch, even to write about it......My response
to hurt is to withdraw, take myself away, away from what? the community,
the relationship.  Jeez, what's possible in staying present to hurt in the
community, in the inbetween?  Watching the emails, it's kind of like one of
those cartoons with a lot of word blurbs coming out of peoples' mouths, the
key insight here is that the blurbs are ATTACHED to the people.  Dueling
banjos.  In a symphony, or even a piece for flute and violin, it's the
combination that gives the impression.  This discourse was like a lot of
separate instruments playing without a score.....Now, what does the score
play like, Seth?

Summary by David Byrne, Talking Heads, "Psycho Killers"

"You start a conversation, you can't even finish it
you're talking a lot
but you're not saying anything.
Well, I have nothing to say
my lips are sealed,
say something once, why say it again."

I'm honored to be one of us.  Sad to be drawing to the end of looking
forward to another weekend.  Loving the conversation and the rich
personalities we unfold.  Thrilled that there's another weekend.  Now I
guess we get to go forth and multiply (insert math joke here...).   I love
you each, partners.

Steve
