The holy knight
The wells raped, the wasteland
The christ story, the last supper, passion, crucifixion, the holy lance, joseph of arimathea Grail lost
The story of the dolorous stroke, wound of King
the king wounded, the kingdom in turmoil, the land sick…
the pentecostal vision
the taking up of the quest, the vow, the oath,
beginning the journey, entering the forest….
the quest and search for the mythical spiritual ideal, the chalice of atonement… The heroic quest to save one’s own soul and the nation, the land, the people….
the quest asks everything of you, strips you down and builds you up and takes everything away….
the quest itself is the teaching, the path, the experiences -
the true faithful knight eventually finds the castle
but then must undergo the mystical ritual and ordeal and pass the test, ask the question…
sail the ship of sarras,
Finally obtain the grail and ascend to heaven
companions return to camelot to tell the tale
