“..it was his business to help them play. He could think of nothing better to do with his life, for he knew that when they felt free to play, their souls showed; who they were came out more clearly than at almost any other time. And the more one got used to letting one’s self show, unafraid, the more joy came walking into one’s life. And then the Self showed itself still more–and the cycle continued, joy engendering joy, endless. He leaned on the wall, warm with the thought of what his work was freeing those around him to be.”
p. 234 THE WOUNDED SKY by Diane Duane (a Star Trek novel)
Now that it is 2021 and I am back to some semblance of normality, it is time for another quote. Enjoy!
STARLUST
To walk the sands of an alien world, To feel the wind and breathe the air … What longing lies within my soul That stirs emotions lost in time, That make me crave a double-star, A red-hued sky and rings of gold?
To dig bare feet in dusky beach And watch the wonders of fiery ocean- Is it not our destiny to go And seek fulfillment in the Void, To sate this craving in man’s soul Before the memory is again destroyed?
