Have you never traveled in mind beyond this time?
Beyond the now
Beyond this place
Do you only remain as you are?
Think you’re fixed in this space.
Have you never wanted something more?
Or felt a longing for something this world can’t satisfy?
Do you not care how you live or die?
Are you lost in this maze?
Don’t know why or how?
Does life make sense to you in the now?
Will you be content with only worldly success?
Can this day to day ever measure up to true happiness?

The day to day…
It is not something that we often consciously think about, but most of us are caught up in it. Simply I am referring to the ‘day to day’ of life - the basic everyday things that we do, we say, and the way we live. Also, the things we need or go after each day; the things we look forward too when we get up in the morning, and dream about when we go to sleep. How many of these things are worth the time and effort that we put into achieving or attaining them? How many of our daily rewards or receipts or simple occurrences mean enough to keep us satisfied?

About the Book
Is today as ordinary as all your yesterdays? Does it seem as exciting as all your tomorrows? Are you in a difficult moment? Are you satisfied, or do you desire something more out of life? Do you know what it is that you seek, and how to make the best of your everyday?
These questions hang over us occasionally, adding to the pressures of daily survival. How do we get beyond? I do not have the answers, but I am familiar with the means.
‘It’s more than Just the Day to Day…’ reminds us of our true purpose for living. It takes us through a familiar cycle, that of joys and sorrows, successes and failures, and that of our infinite desires. It shows us that there is a lot more to life than the daily struggle.
Through poetry we journey through each phase of the typical life cycle; through real and personal experiences, hopes, and dreams that may take us back to similar moments in our own lives. We are encouraged to seek our true niche, live or best lives, and break free from the limits of this world.
For anyone currently in an overwhelming situation, or who is at crossroads, or who has already found that joy, ‘It’s more than Just the Day to Day…’ will speak to you. Existing in the daily routine is not yet living. We come repeatedly to the familiar life phases, and we consciously or unconsciously move on. Now we must learn to move beyond; for we are made to live a life far greater, and of more valued meaning than we simply acknowledge in our everyday…
“…I have come in order that you might have life – life in all its fullness.” John 10:10
