Well, I've stayed away long enough now. This was mainly due to the fact that I'm not as yet a frequent blogger (I wonder if there is any program to encourage this, like with frequent flyers) Recently, I've found out by chance that Garr Reynolds has his blog on posterous as well :). He is exceptionally gifted at what he does (he wrote Presentation Zen and The Naked Presenter in case you want to take a look at his work) and also an extraordinary inspiration when it comes to bringing Zen wisdom into Powerpoint presentations - something we all wish was always as "simple and natural", because I believe there's not one of us who has not had to endure a tedious and overloaded presentation at some point. As Garr lives in Japan, his posts have recently acquired even more depth than they had to begin with. A presentation of my own making I would like to share with you here is to remind people who, like me, are fortunate to be living in a part of the world which has as yet remained untouched by calamities, that this is the life we have been blessed with and that we need to treat it with respect.Your life is happening right now, live it.

This is your life


I'd like to dedicate this quote by Heinrich Heine, one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century (whom, incidentally, I share my last name with) to Garr and his efforts, as the sentence gave me a certain Zen feeling: 

"Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means"

Heinrich Heine

 

I do not own any of the copyrights neither for the text nor the pictures in the presentation.
