As a gift it bears little resemblance to The madness around me, those who think They know everything, those who despair My own absurd, hesitant presumption is hope. I watch the osprey hunt the harbor at dusk, It soars and glides to a frantic wing-beat And like an acrobat hangs in mid-air As flashes of silver scales below Signal time to make a precision dive My own hesitant presumption is hope. As an infant flails, wails, loss of womb, Its wet, loud, pronouncement -I am here My conscience, not newborn, nor single-Minded like the Fish Hawk, hears the cry Of the wounded heart. My own presumption is hope, Even as deadly fog shrouds the backstage It is no match, these awakenings are legion, New dimensions of spirit and soul Rise from sweet hearth and beloved earth, Feminine and Divine My own hope Lies Mahler's 1st, from minor to major, From darkness to Frere Jacques. So rise Tired traveler, renew, seek secret places, The great percussion of possibilities within. Peter Karoff July 2006 H. Peter Karoff, a member of Synergos' Board of Directors and the founder and Chair of The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI), has produced a paper Open Source Philanthropy -- Social Change in a Flat World which looks at new models of collaboration in philanthropy. These models, which are characterized by transparency, openness and interdependence. Looking at the broader "open source" movement in the world of technology, Karoff asks if the lessons and potential of that movement are applicable to philanthropy and concludes with "a hopeful 'yes,' qualified only by how open we ourselves can be."
