Einstein at Work

March 13, 2014

Without action, a great idea fizzles into the abyss, never to be seen again. Or so you imagine. Actually, it sits, lying, waiting, for the next time you are unable to write it down, notate it onto your Ipod, laptop, desktop, back of a co-op grocery receipt, ink it on your palm. Tell it to a friend, asking them to remind you about it later. Call your home phone, leave yourself a message about the brilliant idea. Right. You don’t have a home phone.

So many grand plans go awry since I typically cannot recall what I had for breakfast,  unless I left the dishes in the sink, as a reminder. Worked at making up a little ditty about it, with a catchy tune. Later, I cannot remember the tune, let alone the scheme.

I wander aimlessly, most of the time, in my own world, coming up with ways to solve the world issues-famine, life-threatening diseases, poverty, unemployment, and teaching the cat to clean his own litter box. One genius moment at a time.
