These days, I am
happy being alive. I think once you have seen that the light at
the end of the tunnel
is an oncoming train, it puts a whole new perspective on the way
one thinks and puts a value on our
mortality. I wake up in the morning and am so greatful, because
we are never promised a tomorrow
and once we are jaded it seems we take for granted the smallest
things, like breathing, freedom, and
even the ability to just get up and walk outside no matter what
the weather is like.
What I really
love about Wednesdays is the fact that I get to say, "Happy
Hump Day," because it's so
elementary to get a kick out of using the word HUMP. And I never
claimed to be all grown up, because
if anyone knows me, they know I will never grow up no matter how
old I am!

The Holy Grail
 In Christian mythology, the Holy
Grail was the dish or cup, which Jesus used at the Last
Supper, or alternatively a vessel that caught his blood
during his crucifixion, or sometimes both. It was said to
have the power to heal all wounds. A theme joined to the
Christianised Arthurian mythos relates to the quest for
the Holy Grail. The legend may be a combination of
genuine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron
endowed with special powers. Whether graal is Celtic or
Old French, it never refers to any cup or bowl but this.According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, it was only after the cycle of Grail romances was well established in identifying the cup of the Last Supper with the Grail that late medieval writers came up with a false etymology from the fact that in Old French, san grial means "Holy Grail" and sang rial means "royal blood". Since then, Sangreal is sometimes employed to lend a medievalizing air in referring to the Holy Grail. This connection with royal blood bore fruit in a modern best-seller linking many historical conspiracies (see below). The Grail legend is believed by some to be a Gothic legend, which first came together in the form of written romances, deriving perhaps from some pre-Christian folkloric hints, in the later 12th and early 13th centuries. The early Grail romances centered on Percival and were then woven into the more general Arthurian fabric. The Grail romances were French; though they were translated into other European vernaculars, no new essential elements were added. Also the Legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and the Holy Grail are believed by some groups of scholars to be of Scythian Iranian origin. |
