“A quarter of a century after Lt Uhura boldly went where no African American had gone before, her protogee returned the favor. Before blasting into orbit aboard the Endeavour in 1992, Dr Mae Jemison, the first woman of color in space, called actress Nichelle Nichols to thank her for the inspiration. And then she made a promise.
Despite NASA’s rigid protocol, Jemison would begin each shift with a salute that only a Trekkie could appreciate. “Hailing frequencies open,” she could be heard repeating throughout the eight day mission.”

Love this
I once read it in a book as:
“Stop here my friend as you pass by/
As you are now so once was I/
As I am now, so must you be/
Prepare for Death and follow me.”
Which… sounds a little more hardcore.
This has actually been a message placed upon tombstones and in art since the Middle Ages and the time of the Black Death. There are other sayings as well, and they are a type of memento mori, a “reminder that you will die”.
My favorite memento mori is “Live mindful of death, time flies.”
I used to work for a memorialist. I miss it.

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
