BACK COVER script for SAME AS IT NEVER WAS

 Science is not wisdom anymore than a slide rule was a ruler. When you ask something to perform a function for which it was not made ...

... you get tbe sort of backwards world we have today where we ask humans to ignore their souls ... and wonder why we have hearts full of ashes.

Has it occurred to you that somewhere in the past, we as a race have lost our way?

If we could go back in time, could we set right what went wrong? Would we even recognize the moment when it all began to unravel?

That question gave birth to SAME AS IT NEVER WAS

HERE is the script to its back cover

THE PAST IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

Robert Frost called the past a “Disused Graveyard”

The living come with grassy tread

To read the gravestones on the hill;

The graveyard draws the living still,

But never any more the dead.

What did he know? He was only a poet. They live in verse while most of us live in reverse … only realizing the import of life as we look at it in the rearview mirror.

In the mirrors of many judgments, my hands are the color of blood.

Often in mine as well

I sometimes fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils.

On that great Day of which the prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe,

On that Day when the world is utterly cleansed of evil, then I, too, will go down into darkness, swallowing curses for things I’ve done too often … or not enough.

 Some think I was a madman. Others just a man with special powers. Both groups are wrong.

Sentient, through me, changed the world. Who is Sentient? Come with me to New Orleans of 1942 and find out.
