Sure. Pull out the ‘flying Dutchman” from your coffers, if you dare. It’s been known to tame the beastly spirit. There’s something about 3/4 timing that makes ‘em all forget, me too. :)
I hear… it sends some to space.
Oh. Allow me. My family knows I’m known to nurture the underdog.
Here’s the take for me.
That tree, or any tree for any matter, represents so many things. Mainly, growth and history. So many trees last longer than us, humans. Was that not the foundation of our own expressions from Genesis to now? Goodness.
I will forever be grateful to my “away team” to point me to that one tree, to make the connection I needed to understand more. I had no idea then, I do now.
Sooooo much from that point from when I was there, before to now has changed. We drove passed last summer, will Google be the only place that’ll emblaze from wax to gold to THAT multi-memory?
When its bark grows to the hands it touches, will that hand read its roots and new shoots? I was lucky to see my family did.
Get me? Good. Know what? Each and every tree deserves that, here and whoknows..
proof positive each and every grouped endeavor needs a human resources department, and down time
i wonder what it’ll be like when we reach further out

At the world premiere of Star Trek: Voyager on January 10, 1995 at Paramount Pictures, Kate Mulgrew made a special presentation to Dr. Sally K. Ride for her invaluable contributions to space exploration. Mulgrew presented Dr. Ride with an official communicator pin from the set of Star Trek: Voyager so that she could “beam” up whenever she felt the need to.
You will forget many things in life except for one: how someone made you feel, good or bad.
Sally Ride, the first female American astronaut to go into space, blasted off aboard NASA’s Space Shuttle Challenger 30 years ago, on June 18, 1983, as a mission specialist for Space Transportation System Mission 7 (STS-7).
The humanities give us a chance to read across languages and cultural differences in order to understand the vast range of perspectives in and on this world. How else can we imagine living together without this ability to see beyond where we are, to find ourselves linked with others we have never directly known, and to understand that, in some abiding and urgent sense, we share a world?
