[Forgotten Language]

Today is October 18th, 2010.

There will never be another October 18th, 2010.

That's pretty weighty, isn't it?

So go out an do something special with today, and make it count, because you'll never get today back.

Forgotten Language by Shel Silverstein

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?
