Givi Sproshvili b.1940 in Georgia ~ Einstein
Think Einstein
Think relativity
A popular
Stereotypical
Liaison
But Einstein was more
He was a man
Re-framing identity
Cultural
Spiritual
Zionism
An injection of humanity
As if
His life was
Not chained to Jewish politics
(He lived in
Germany
Italy
Switzerland and
The United States)
But about any
Universal
Unfettered
Life force
Connections
A man with his
Pipe of peace
Leaning
Moving
Dreaming
Forward

I have to believe that ultimately he was a compassionate man. A vegetarian, no less.
def...as with any great person we get hung up on what is deemed their greatest accomplishment and lose just who they were...and what it all really meant in the context of the day
yep...he was a fascinating personality..highly talented...struggling hard at times...was visiting the house where he lived while working at the patentamt in berne...a stupid, boring job...he went through all kind of things...
I think it all started with his interest in light and he became enlightened.
PS not Joe Klein. Oh no, now I have to pass the word verification test again!
An amazing man, and your poem does him justice. Fantastic piece of artwork, too!
"A man with his
Pipe of peace

The picture took my breathe away, and your words breathed it back into me, as if his pigeonhole is a mere balloon that is nothing without the air/words/meat-in-the-sandwich of the rest of him. "A man re-framing identity" in almost all ways, including cultivating wonder and creativity. A very important poem that--with the picture--is great!
Loved this piece. He was my husband's hero. He had studied under profs who had been Einstein's students. Your poem captured his brilliance and nobility.
He's a fascinating study, very humble, very plain spoken...many times I run across quotes from him and am amazed at how wise--not just how smart--he was. Love the painting, and the poem.
I purchased a book from a used book store... I think it was entitled "Ideas and Opinions" and he wrote it along with another writer. Totally enjoyable! Yes, he was amazing.
Yes beyond his brilliance, a heartfelt thinker, in many ways, moving forward. This is a beautiful rendition of his passion and his peace.
unfetted dreaming, not enough of it as we are forced to conform
A true giant of a man. I like the concise way you have summed him up.
His greatness relatively speaking is beyond reasoning. You've said it all Gemma!

I like this musing on the life Einstein. And the Plutarch quote on your blog is one of my favs :)
That painting was a good find Gemma, and I enjoyed the poem. As said above always great to try and understand someone like Einstein holistically
Nice write!
whoosh! I leaned right into my computer!
Very good reading, delightful.
