However, there is always an underlying belief that, in the end, resilience of human spirit triumphs over everything. These poems aspire to bring courage and hope for the reader.

Corballis argues that mind-wandering has many constructive and adaptive features. These range from mental time travel?the wandering back and forth through time, not only to plan our futures based on past experience, but also to generate a continuous sense of who we are--to the ability to inhabit the minds of others, increasing empathy and social understanding. Through mind-wandering, we invent, tell stories, and expand our mental horizons. Mind wandering , hardly the sign of a faulty network or aimless distraction, actually underwrites creativity, whether as a Wordsworth wandering lonely as a cloud, or an Einstein imagining himself travelling on a beam of light. Corballis takes readers on a mental journey in chapters that can be savored piecemeal, as the minds of readers wander in different ways, and sometimes have limited attentional capacity.

What do I do when my mind wanders? I write it down. "Thoughts From A Wandering Mind" is just that, my thoughts when I just let my mind go wherever it wants to go. No limits. No topics off limits. No set course. No planning. Just pen to paper and letting it all flow out. What better way to express yourself that being honest and open with what's going on inside your head.
