Ricardo Montalbán died today. Montalbán’s memory is forever imprinted on the Star Trek collective consciousness as Khan Noonien Singh.

She died holding some other kid’s teddy bear. My friend and his family were gone and somehow I moved on to the next place.

In those rare moments we are given insight into the pain we carry deep into the night. Edward Edinger called this the soul’s nekyia.
