353: Tribute to Spock

I grew up with and love Star Trek, so today’s drawing honors the late Leonard Nimoy. Today also coincides with the passing of my grandpa, so I’d like to say rest in peace good sirs. Thank you for being such an inspiration in my life. 

You can see Spock and his kitty in Assignment Earth, Season 2 Episode 26.

On his 90th Birthday, Oliver Wendell Holmes was invited to give a short speech on a national radio program, which was held in his honor. It’s a true Holmes speech in every way, down the (more English than Boston) Brahmin accent that I’ve always suspected him of having.

After a short introduction, Holmes takes the stage, and his speech begins:

“In this symposium my part is only to sit in silence. To express one’s feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task.

But I may mention one thought that comes to me as a listener in. The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill. There is time to hear the kind voice of friends and say to oneself: ‘The race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.’ The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It cannot be, while you still live. For to live is to function. That is all there is in living.

And so I end with a line from a Latin poet who uttered the message more than 1,500 years ago:

‘Death plucks my ear and says: “Live- I am coming,”’”
