Foreign Activist Film - Bombay
In Bombay, a Muslim and a Hindu marry. Both of their fathers disown them. Yet, in the midst of chaos, Muslims and Hindus against each other, they reunite with the son and daughter. They realize what really mattered when they thought there was a potential for loss. The Muslim woman and Hindu man have two boys. In one scene, the father of the Hindu man is walking with his grandsons. Men circle him, ready to kill. Then, the father of the Muslim woman intervened. He said something to the men that drove them away. When asked what it was, he simply turned and said, “I told them that you are my brother.”
POEM
"Kindness" by Naomi Shihab Rye
"Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.
Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend."

poem by einstein
Poem by Albert Einstein, written in 1937
(gift of Abraham Pais)*
Biography of Kepler, from Einstein’s personal library
(gift of Helen Dukas)
* The poem was written for one (Albert) Gideon Schwabacher. The translation reads:
This day is generally known
Manhood is acknowledged.
The tools needed for this purpose
Nature was prepared to deliver
But do not think, my little man,
That with this all is said and done!
The enterprise is not [that] small:
It is not easy to be a MAN!
