dancing with galileo

This work is about a love affair with my idea of Galileo. This heroic figure led me on a journey to find out who he was as a man. I went to places he lived and tried to find where he stood and what he saw. I read about him and some of his writings. The more I found out, the less I seemed to know. In the end, I still loved him but now as a human with flaws. I wanted to dance with him, but he left me dancing alone....
