About That Iconic Salute,...

Spock’s Vulcan salute became a recognized symbol of the show and was identified with him. Leonard Nimoy created the sign himself from his childhood memories of the way kohanim (Jewish priests) held their hand when giving blessings. During an interview, he translated the Priestly Blessing which accompanied the sign and described it during a public lecture: “May the Lord bless and keep you and may the Lord cause his countenance to shine upon you. May the Lord be gracious unto you and grant you peace. The accompanying spoken blessing, Live long and prosper”.

The stars in the Universe have dimmed a little this week. Leonard Nimoy, aside from being an actor, was a respected photographer, poet and writer. He truly did live long and prospered.
From his last Twitter post: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory."
