Talk Like William Shakespeare Day takes place most years on March 22. The holiday began in 2009. Some governing bodies in the U.S. have moved the date around but the holiday remains officially in March. The holiday is a fun affair with people adding a bit of silliness to their days by talking like Shakespeare. Most simply add in a few ‘thou’s and ‘-eth’ to the end of the occasional word, while others go all out and recite the happenings of their day in ‘Iambic Pentameter.’ Either way, the point is to have fun with words!

Organizers of this holiday request that people everywhere contemplate, meditate upon, or pray to offer Metta to all living beings in the world. Regardless of your faith, take this day as a chance to reflect on the power of love that can change the world.
