It’s Here!

with 4 comments

Eleven, eleven, eleven. One one one one one one. If I wasn’t already married, I’d get married today, along with all the others who picked today because of the numbers. Make sure to stop everything at eleven minutes after 11:00 and look at the digital clocks!

Isn’t it funny how much attention we will give to things like the numbers in a date? An arbitrary date. Does November 11, 2011 have the same importance to people using the Julian calendar as the Gregorian? What if November 10 was a date of greater significance, and we overlooked it?

It is just a date. An arbitrary number.

We are here, now, in this moment. This is the greatest significance.

Every day.

No matter what the calendar date is.
