Today is the fourth anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack against the United States. Let us not forget.

It is also the anniversary of someone’s wedding.

Someone’s loved one died on September 11, but not in the attack.

On this day, someone celebrates a birthday.

In 1609, Henry Hudson landed on Manhattan island.

The Beatles recorded their debut single, Love Me Do, on this day in 1962.

In 1972, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) began regular service.

Today is New Year’s Day in the Ethiopian calendar (Enkutatash).

It is a day of dying and a day of living. Let us remember.

Naught is possessed, neither gold, nor land nor love, nor life, nor peace, nor even sorrow nor death, nor yet salvation. Say of nothing: It is mine. Say only: It is with me.

–D.H. Lawrence
