The premiss of the poems in this book is that we are more than our physical bodies. Our personality, our curiosity, our creativity and compassion, among other things, are part of our other aspect, our spirit. The poems explore how our spirit can grow and develop in this world, and how it will exist and continue to grow after our physical death. Having a spirit that can learn and grow through our experiences in this life, and will continue to exist in our next life, gives our lives meaning and purpose and guides us as to how we should live our lives.
