Live Long and Prosper

“I’m touched by the idea 
that when we do things 
that are useful and helpful - 
collecting these shards 
of spirituality -
 that we may be 
helping to bring about 
a healing.” 
                 Leonard Nimoy

on the default settings, 
never realizing

The sea is 
a singular neighbor
bringing good, bad,
all things - anything.

Beautiful, ugly,
roaring, whispering.

The sea, 
our neighbor
barely notices us;

Yet never fails
to charm.

" I could never stay 
long enough on the shore;
 the tang of the untainted, 
fresh, and free sea air 
was like a cool, 
quieting thought. "
