We can look at nature as a composite of isolated snapshots showing its beauty, or we can view the incredible and intelligent design and function behind every plant, tree, and living creature.The intended goal of the book is to provoke your mind to see this incredible bio design from which we can begin to develop a higher level of understanding and meaning. We will soon realize that we will discover and recognize new patterns as we process new information.We will begin to connect ideas and concepts previously not connected. We will raise the quality of our perceptions and thinking using the intelligent design found in nature. "Thinking skill in unquestionably the fundamental human resource. We need to do much more about developing this skill, because the complexity of modern life demands more than routine reactions. There is an even bigger need for productive, constructive and generative thinking""I hope that everyone concerned with the future direction of education will pay attention to these important matters which you raise in this book."-- Dr. Edward de BonoWORLD'S LEADING AUTHORITY ONTHINKING AS A DELIBERATE SKILL

Return to Tomorrow is a compilation poetry book. It discusses all concepts of life. From reality, fantasy, spiritualism, mysticism, romance, lost love, today's world and hopefully the reality of truth. I also think Return to Tomorrow is sort of a journey through the psyche of the mind. An imagination of today's reality and tomorrow's future. There's always hope for love and peace of mind, for today and our future. But maybe our own conscience of our souls could be the answer, for love and hate. And maybe learn from our past failures, from conflict, peace and love. But I do think there will be freedom from our minds, for all of us. So maybe behind our eyes holds truth to our lives. So in this poetry book, Return to Tomorrow. Hopefully you'll find the right rhyme somewhere out there or within the mind.
