My Grandfather was a modern day Renaissance Man, a profound street philosopher. I look back on his life and his influence on my life with a smile and a nod. Wisdom doesn't just come through Ancient philosophers. My Grandfather had Wisdom and Humor gleaned from living everyday life. Bohemian Wisdom is simple Wisdom for practical living. Bohemian Wisdom is Common Sense wrapped in Humor and Wit. Bohemian Wisdom is funny and informative. You learn Wisdom with its use.

Bohemian Wisdom is passed down by clever Witticisms. Bohemian Wisdom is imparted without the casual receiver knowing that they are being schooled in Wisdom to live by. Often it raises eyebrows, but there's already at least a knowing grin that comes with it. My Bohemian Grandfather effected the lives of all that had the honor of being around him. Now I find myself prefixing my Bohemian Idioms Wisdom with, "Like my Grandfather used to say.". Words matter¿ My Grandfather choose his words intentionally, carefully, and wisely. It seemed to come so naturally to him.

But, I can imagine him rehearsing his lines in his head weighing their impact before he delivered them. My Grandfather had an Idiom for every conversation¿ My Grandpa Joe didn't use "big words". He didn't have an ounce of pretense in his bones. Idioms make complex concepts, simple, ingenious, and life-changing. They are sayings To Live By and A Legacy to Leave Your Children and Grandchildren simply by having everyday conversations. Not all these Idioms are explained. Sometimes it's fun to ponder the possibility of meanings. Sometimes jokes are more funny when they go over most people's heads! Through mine and my family's repeating My Grandfather's Bohemian Idioms, my Grandfather and his Wisdom will live on into perpetuity.

Your family can benefit from his Bohemian sense of Humor woven into the fabric of every day conversations. If you want to be remembered, create an Idiom Legacy of your own to give everyone something by which to remember you! As they say, Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery¿.
