Quest for the Eternal story

The three search the mystery of the Grail where man finds union with the divine.  There is a spiritual goal of inner wholeness and self-fulfillment here.  The cup is in full view, but hidden from the seekers due to their preoccupation with each other.  Suddenly, the woman becomes aware of a sword rising from the waters.  The mere sight grants her extended life.  It is a beacon drawing everyone near.  The man of noble birth walks beside his dog as the humble, ordinary man fixes his gaze on the radiant young woman.  Is she the sacred vessel? Does this cauldron end the search for rebirth, inspiration, and courtly love?  Can the three find the Vessel of Wisdom that causes joy to permeate their souls?  Along this path they catch a glimpse of a single image of wholeness, the Grail; however, the quest is never truly over. The three walk right by the eternal cup they are seeking but not seeing.             Jody Bare
