Closing General Session Resources - Artie Isaac

"I wish everyone great success — and moments of true engagement in life. I hope our paths cross again and soon. I promised to follow-up with several items."

Here they are:

• Carry Forth, a way to plan a creative adventure or lifetime legacy
• Go Artie!, the 53-minute brainstorm tool
• My promises, which I hereby pledge to everyone I meet
• My blog, on creativity, ethics and life
• My bookshelf, with titles that promote creativity
• How to Design a Brainstorm
• My creativity syllabus from the business school at Ohio State University
• And the poem from Thich Nhat Hanh
  • Breathing in, I relax my body.
    Breathing out, I smile.
    Dwelling in the present moment,
    This is a wonderful moment.

Like much poetry, it is deceptively simple. Let's break it down. Breathing in, I relax my body. That's easy enough. Let's do it together.  Breathing in, I relax my body.
Breathing out, I smile.

It's not one of those broad smiles. It's a smile like Mona Lisa's. Like the Buddha's. A smile that says, "I know something. Perhaps it is just that I know I am breathing." A smile that is enough to make your body think you are happy about something.

Let's try. Smile.

The last two lines are more conceptual:

Dwelling in the present moment,
This is a wonderful moment.

This just states that life is lived in the present. And this moment is a wonderful moment.
