Peak Experience

Aye, aye, Captain!   (Public Domain)
Psychologist Abraham Maslow often spoke of peak experiences.  And some peaks are definitely higher than others.

Ninety-year-old William Shatner (aka “Captain Kirk”) recently experienced the apogee of his life.  During a ten-minute sojourn to the edge of space, the veteran actor summed things up with these two words:  “Oh, wow!”

Now you may have seen plenty of pictures of Earth from a blue-dot perspective.  But, as Shatner then added, “No description can equal this.”  Sometimes you just have to be there in order to grasp an essence.  FaceTime is one thing, face-to-face time quite another.
