The Dash
There’s a poem that has circulated for a long time on the internet, and you’ve probably seen it in written form or in the form of a slide show with beautiful pictures from all aspects of nature. The poem refers to the dash on a tombstone - the one that goes between the year you were born and the year you died. It talks about how it doesn’t really matter about the dates themselves, but what really matters is what you’ve done with all the time in the middle of those years - or, the dash.
