Reactions and Reviews
The third poetic story that struck a deep chord was written by Leslie Fish -- "Cooling One's Heels." Spock is temporarily in command of the ship and, outwardly, he speaks with every member of the crew, giving orders, requesting ship's status, et cetera. But his mind is not on his work. Inwardly, his emotions are spinning, tumbling in wild imaginative thoughts, because Jim Kirk lies in sickbay, desperately fighting for his life. Spock would rather be with Jim, but McCoy won't let him. So the bridge of the starship, the love of Jim's life, is Spock's only solace. Through the jumbled concepts that assail him, Spock fights to keep control. He is determined to show the crew his strength and calm. But it is extremely difficult. Spock's struggle with love as an idea, then an emotion, and finally, a reality is the struggle we all must admit to and face on a daily basis, be it with friends, family, spouses, or T'hy'la. Love is a bond, but not bound by fetters of thought or structure. Through THE SENSUOUS VULCAN and all the other zines of Trek fandom, lay we always keep it SO! Sensuality, sexuality, and sex are positives in any progressive society, and, as such, it is better to enjoy them wholesomely, than not. [1]
