The Copper Pipe of Time

You are about to listen to a book which will take you on a light-hearted trip. The journey is taken with good intention and high hopes, yet pervading its innocence and joy is an omnipresent threat. It is the eternal struggle between good and evil, and within your book it is exemplified by the enthusiasms of youth battling in concert with the wisdom of age and experience, to overcome an ambient and determined malignity.

Davy Pilcher will Journey with you on the trail to joyous times and wonderful places, both exotic and mundane. You will get down at Woodstock, join Napoleon on a trampoline, run in a panic through the streets of Paris, hoping to avoid the guillotine, and each of these experiences may be the final battleground.

Each outcome is framed by the Integrity of what the participants bring to the fray within their minds. Unwittingly, they promote and nourish either good or evil with the power of their intentions and suffer the consequences. If their heart is right and their goals are true, they may prevail. If anger, hostility and vengefulness guide them, darkness and decay will flourish and make an end to them.

There is an apocryphal story told in many ancient civilizations. The story is of two wolf cubs, and it is told by a grandfather to his grandson. The wolf cubs grow and mature together, one of them with the usual roughhouse wrestling and tumbling, the other with vicious slashing and tearing. The grandson asks, “Which wolf will win?” The grandfather answers, “The one you feed.”
