Of the Grail and being a Seeker


I don't know why I all of a sudden thought about the Grail...


It's got nothing to do with the holy blood and that kind of thing in the Da Vinci Code. I was thinking more in the line of the Arthurian legends. About the knights that went in search of it. About being the Seeker...


I am the Seeker in the Wasteland.

I tread on the Rainbow Road of dreams.

This is my quest

to find the grail, the light of my life,

and bring it back into this world.

May my steps be guided

May my dreams be watched over

May my life be blessed with love



It also brings on the thought about the Ringbearer in Tolkien's world. Not Frodo in particular. Just being the bearer of something of great power. Maybe it should be the Grail bearer.


I view the grail as something of pure power. Then the Grail becomes a message, a vision that can guide our steps. The legends tells us that only the purest of hearts can ever find it. What does that mean, being pure of heart? Frodo was pure at heart. And in the end, evil overcome him too.


I guess what I am saying with this, is that I want to find the Grail. I want to be a Ringbearer. I want to take on the responsibility of being true to myself and bring life back to the Wasteland and thereby lead as an example. That's what I want to do. Be an example for others to do with what they want to. I have to figure out how to bring the light down into the darkness. How to bring the spirit into the physical world.
