We continue to ponder the importance of 'free space', that space of potential, that space long recognized by Taoist and Buddhists as 'wu wei'.
We find it being called by different names. Alan Kay used the Japanese term of 'ma'. David Bohm, a theoretical physicist, referred to as _free space_ in what is know as the Brohm Dialogue 
. Phil Jackson, the basketball coach, talks about it as The Space Between.
Within the Buddhist tradition, it may also be thought of as 'emptiness', that from which becoming emerges mirroring Whitehead's understanding of 'creativity'.
When we introduce the agile mindset to educators in a DIG , we gently suggest that they courageously follow their curiosity into these spaces, asking them to note surprise and then to connect that surprise together into a new pattern of meaning, something that happens in unexpected Eureka Moments. These moments, where a feeling a joy flows through them, are not forgotten. In fact, the can't be unfelt, empowering them to Claim the Joy.
