The sign reads 03.23.2023. As I’ve pointed out in several posts, the number 2 is a powerful number in the world of numerology. 3 is too. It is the number of the child and symbolizes growth and magic. Since I know that I don’t know much, I’ll accept that any day with three 3s and three 2s will be a fine day. As further proof, it’s Cuddly Kitten Day, National Chia Day, National Chip and Dip Day, National Melba Toast Day, National Puppy Day, National Tamale Day, OK Day, The Start of Ramadan, and World Meteorological Day. Now we see what our ancestors did on this day: On this day in 1593 English Puritans (John Greenwood and Henry Barrowe) were tried, convicted and sentenced to death on the charge of circulating seditious books. On this day in 1752 Pope Stephen II was elected to succeed Zacharias. Two days later Pope Stephen II died. This is the day in 1775 that Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or give me death.” On this day in 1839 the Boston Morning Post used the term “OK” for the first time. On this day in 1857 Elisha Otis installed his 1st elevator in NYC. On this day in 1917 a 4-day storm began moving through the Midwest. Tornadoes killed 211 people. On this day in 1919 Benito Mussolini formed a Fascist movement in Milan Italy. This is the day in 1945 that the Battle of Okinawa began. It would become the largest battle of the Pacific War in WWII. In 1977 on this day Elvis began his final concert tour. Today we will cover some quotes by Stendhal who was a French author who died in 1842. Stendhal said, “All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.” “life is very short and it ought not to be spent crawling at the feet of miserable scoundrels.” “God’s only excuse is that he does not exist.” That my friends, is a profound quote when you think about it. And a good place to stop. Abide.
