Today is a very important day. Important people were born today. Important people died today. Today is that day when that really big event happened and all those others things fell into place because that really big event happened. People in that place you read about in that magazine a few years ago commemorate today with the ceremony that sounds a lot like that thing you do later this year to honor your roots just like your mother taught you and her mother taught her. Today is special in that way. It is a day of births, deaths, anniversaries, separations, surgeries, trials, parties, weddings, first times, last times, remember that times, and did we really do that times. Today is important and this year marks another year of that importance.
Circle today on the calendar. Sometimes the Full Moon falls on this date and that sweetens the celebration. When the New Moon falls on this day, which happens less than once every ten years, it is tradition to remember all the things that came to light on this day since the dawn of time. In Ancient times, today was celebrated by a sigh of thanks just before sleep came to mark another day of survival.
Today might not be as special as those days selected by Churches and Governments as High Holy Days, Holidays, Official Observance Days, or whatever they call them but today is special just the same. Today is one day away from yesterday and one day closer to tomorrow. Today is now and now is really all there is when we remember to celebrate it. Today is so important that when tomorrow finally arrives, we rename it Today.
