“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”

Can’t Chat, Reading

Sorry, can’t chat right now, I’m too busy reading the new Ilona Andrews book, Ruby Fever.
While I do feel a bit bad that it will only take me a day to read what took months to write, I’m going to inhale the book anyway. Back soon!

Something Silly

Put Something In
Draw a crazy picture,
— Shel Silverstein
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-grumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
‘Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on ‘Star Trek,’ dead at 89
Nichols was one of the first Black women featured in a major television series, and her role as Lt. Nyota Uhura on the original TV series was groundbreaking: an African American woman whose name came from Uhuru, the Swahili word for “freedom.”
“For the first time, we are being seen the world over as we should be seen.”
— Martin Luther King Jr., Star Trek’s Uhura Reflects On MLK Encounter
Nichelle Nichols showed us all that the future belonged to more than just white men, and then she helped NASA build that future.
“After Apollo 11, Nichelle made it her mission to inspire women and people of color to join this agency, change the face of STEM and explore the cosmos. Nichelle’s mission is NASA’s mission. Today, as we work to send the first woman and first person of color to the Moon under Artemis, NASA is guided by the legacy of Nichelle Nichols.”
— NASA Administrator Bill Nelson
She demonstrated, with talent, conviction, determination and grace, that the future is brighter when all of us are in it.
“If they let me in the door, I will open it so wide that they will see the world.”
— Woman in Motion tells story of how Star Trek’s Uhura changed NASA forever | Ars Technica
She did. We did. And humanity is so much better for it.
“If you can see it, you can be it,” the saying goes. Nichelle Nichols gave millions of people the opportunity to see themselves on the frontiers of science and exploration, boldly expanding human understanding.
She inspired so many of us to reach for the stars. What a legacy.
— Hillary Clinton

“. . . what I like doing best is Nothing.”
― A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner
“How do you do Nothing?” asked Pooh, after he had wondered for a long time.
“Well, it’s when people call out at you just as you’re going off to do it, What are you going to do, Christopher Robin, and you say, Oh, nothing, and then you go and do it.”
