It turned out to be a big deal. All of it started sophomore year at college, a typical Friday evening on the lookout for an eternal buzz. You know what they say about be careful what you wish for. I dropped some acid that my friends had warned me about, but carpe diem, right? I was young and invincible... And I had no idea what I was in for. Not like it was my first time (or my last, for that matter), and I didn't need a rabbit to follow down into the hole, but Wonderland was nowhere near as weird as some of the things I saw. Or at turns, fantastic. I ended up in a hospital by the end of the night, but that wasn't the end of my ride. In fact, you guessed it, it was just the beginning.The long and short of it? I got caught up in a myth, the legend, something that's touched on in the Bible: they call it the War in Heaven. A war in eternity. And I had just been drafted. Now you understand that the title is not figurative--this is what's inside the tin. It spans 25 years, to end appropriately in the last month of the Year of the Dragon. Along that way, there were visions, madness, dreams: and love, true love, which will follow you forever, and ever.And as you might expect, there were angels and demons, St. Michael the Archangel, Lucifer fallen as Satan and the Devil; there was Philip K. Dick who is my twin somehow, and in whose name I prophesy; Joan of Arc who was only crazy in the good sense, whom I miss most of all; and Jesus of Nazareth who told me to call him "Lord" and that he was gay as a maypole! (Do you care?) Sights and signs to blow your mind. Prophecy on acid.So... Do you hear hear your train a-comin'?
