Maybe that&#39;s one reason we tend to seek out stuff like this, why Trek appeals to us. Maybe it&#39;s the inherent optimism of the show, the way the characters unfailingly work together toward a greater good, the way episodes resolve themselves neatly...&quot;<br /><br />Everyone in Star Trek is rational and completely in charge of their faculties (except Lon Suder and Spock in Pon Farr). That makes it a safe place where nothing moves that is supposed to stay put. When things make sense there is nothing to fear.<br /><br />&quot;...the way our captain will always be there as a guiding force in our life.&quot;<br /><br />I can relate to this and I am certain it has a lot to do with how much I appreciate Star Trek.<br /><br />Ashley, I&#39;ve been reading your blog for a while, since almost the beginning. I really envy the way you can open up and just write it all down with abandon. That&#39;s a gift. I feel sometimes like I am pushing my words through a cheese grater. Got. To. Get. Them. Out. And I was not even trying to talk like Captain Kirk. Glad you are here and writing. Praying for sunshine for you and healing for the person in your life.<br /><br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288080305441894911.post-29301220077447809162015-06-01T05:31:19.093-07:002015-06-01T05:31:19.093-07:00Great post....if you have time, you might find Kat...Great post....if you have time, you might find Kate Mulgrew&#39;s memoir meaningful.
