Something More

Whether one takes the road less-traveled, or takes the well-traveled road more slowly, each choice is a deliberate one made on the calculated chance that, perhaps, such particular choice will yield an ever-desired, but always elusive 'something more' that will grace one's life. For example: the unexpected perception of something sublime in the ordinary; the mysteries of an open door; a new awareness of a familiar voice; intrigues of a fragrant hour; the thrill of a sudden, new consciousness-raising thought or emotion; any 'something more', really, that at once sustains us and comforts us. In this book, it is these moments of experiencing something more that author, John Swearingen, shares with the reader, in verse form, the delight he found in each such moment of experiencing something more, hoping they, too, will be delighted in the telling.
