The Cooling Board is a book as much about death as it is about life. Death is a concept that is scary to most, but I challenge you to think about the life you are living. What's in The Dash; that valuable time in between Birth and Death?
Life is a funny thing. We have the opportunity to live with a purpose and really make a difference with the borrowed time we have here on Earth. That doesn't mean you have to be some great healer or some famous philanthropist, but are you really being constructive and living your life with purpose?
Life is lived in those seconds in which we truly connect with others. Those moments when we didn't realize that something we said or did changed someone else's life.
Life exists in a million forgotten conversations, missed opportunities, and each wasted hour.
Life continues moving like the endless ebb and flow of the Earth's waters. It's us as humans that get complacent and don't want to keep moving on.
So how do you define The Dash? How do you measure the value of those seconds, minutes, hours, and days between Birth and Death called Life?
