What a brilliant, brilliant quote...

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

William Shatner is right. The Earth is the final & only frontier & we are destroying it an an unprecedented rate.

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

"I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

"I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

"This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."

-- William Shatner, actor

@Steve_Dangerous @D_A_Holdsworth Brilliant! Keeping a list of all those knotty homonym word pairs that a spell check never tells apart (...discrete/discreet - cyprus/cypress - hoard/horde - mantel/mantle etc...) This has been added 😀 Perfect. Thanks

Gotta love it when the drama jumps off the page and into real life. Generally the chasm between the (dull) life of a writer and the (fanciful) world they imagine is huge. But this??? Wow......
