Leonard Nimoy’s last tweet before he died was very poignant.

On Feb. 22, the actor and director best known as Mr. Spock tweeted, “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP”

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Nimoy signed all his tweets “LLAP” or “Live Long and Prosper,” his character’s catchphrase from the “Star Trek” series and films.

I'm so impressed that at the end of a life someone is able to summon the grace to make such a beautiful observation. Pure class ...

4. The Garden

The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
So hard to earn so easily burned

In the fullness of time, a garden to nurture and protect

11. "The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect...

The way you live, the gifts that you give. In the fullness of time, the only return that you expect..."
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The first dozen or so times I listened to it I couldn't breathe and my eyes filled with tears. It was awesome live too; both times I saw it the venue went so quiet, and you could feel how special the song is - it really transcends just being rock music.
Thank you for posting it; I thought of it when I read the OP, but I wouldn't have been able to post it on my phone. Very appropriate, in more ways than one.

7. A beautiful, perfect gem

Some thoughts are expressed so well that they can't be improved upon.

RIP, Leonard.

8. Mr Nimoy certainly made an impact in this world. Godspeed Spock.

in a weird way it reminds me of these last lines:

" I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like tears… in… rain. Time… to die…"

12. A 'highly logical' observation if ever there was one.

I feel so sad tonight to hear this news. But also feel uplifted after reading what Mr. Nimoy wrote.

13. .

Trying very hard not to be too emotional about the loss of Leonard Nimoy. Alas, I'm no Vulcan.

This last quote of his is so true...and sad.

14. Hopefully not like the garden spot of Ceti Alpha 5.
