That single most important thing on your grave isn't your name. It isn't the flowers people leave. It isn't the design. It isn't your birth. it isn't your death. It's the dash. For the dash is your whole life in one character of punctuation. You can't fit someone's entire life history on the grave, so the dash does it for you. It holds birthdays, relationships, family, the fun, the games, the memories. So next time you look at a grave, when others are looking at they're name, birth date and death date, look at the dash, and imagine what it holds.

If life is an open door, why am I always trapped on the outside. With all this space around me and no where to go, no one to share it with. The cruel and unforgiving darkness becomes a blessing and my mind blurs the lines that others have set in place for me. I am at one with my self. I am at one with others. I am at one with the darkness. I am at one with the unknown.
