Today I heard a speaker read the poem, The Dash by Linda Ellis. Basically, the dash is the punctuation between your birthday and the date you died, on your tombstone. The premise of the poem is that the dash is the most important part because it represents how you lived your life between when you were born and your final departure. It makes you think about what your dash is going to say about you and, more importantly, it's not too late to straighten it out. I thought it was a clever way to remind people to look up every once in awhile and see if you are still enjoying the scenery!
