Age may not be a state of being but only a foot note in the live of all those that exist. Even the acknowledgement of ones age is transitory. Today I feel young and alive, tomorrow I feel old and worn out. Even death may only be transitory. In Buddhism and Hindu this life is but one of many; our essence being passed down from one being to another growing and changing. In this way Gene Roddenberry, Marjel Barrett, DeForest Kelly, James Doohan, and all others mentioned may now be sitting on their mother�s lap watching the Star Trek-a-thon and Space channel.

But even if reincarnation and an after life does not exist all of these people continue to exist threw their creations. My first exposure to Star Trek were the original series reruns on Sundays at eleven in the early 80s. I gained more faith and hope through the words of Gene Roddenberry then those printed in a book. Will these stories live on? Yes and they will be revered as William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Mary Shelley.

Even your words will be past down from generation to generation. When your website is gone and e-mails go unanswered scores of you loyal devotees will build monuments to you inspiration and talent. Through your works you will continue to touch and inspire others and from them yet more.

No one ever truly dies they live on in the thoughts and hearts of others.

Um, what? God knows I love this site, but that was a little odd, dude.
