Why is so much of our existence so ordinary? Why this immense tract of stuff in our lives that seems to have no lofty purpose? In ninety short devotional chapters, Mike Mason meditates on this question, concluding that in fact everydayness, to the extent we embrace it, is a source of deep consolation. Far from being meaningless, the humdrum and the commonplace may actually hold the secret of life. Same Old, Same New-beautifully and provocatively written and full of arresting insights-will take your old tired world, stand it on end, and spin it like a top.
"Mike Mason straddles two worlds, the quotidian and the eternal. Of course those two worlds aren't separate worlds at all-and the reality of that intermingling, that co-existence of the mundane and the mystical, is perhaps the recurrent theme of Mason's writing." Ron Reed, Founding Artistic Director of Pacific Theatre
