About Me

"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." -Babylon 5

The Fishing King

Many men search for an answer
An answer to all their suffering
An ending to all their sickness
But few have found this Grail

Like the king of old Corbenic
Who was wounded in battle
And became bitter in old age
While his kingdom fell into
Darkness and obscurity

All of us strive to find
An end to all our cruel humanity
An end to all our endless wars
But we find that we are chasing
Ghosts; that seem to mock us

The truth of the matter is
The answer is right in front of us
We don’t have to go anywhere
To find the Holy Grail

Knights in all the land
May come to “heal” us
But like in the tales of old
They all fail in the end

What we must do
Is look inside our
Souls and find the truth

He is in everything we do
He is the very thing that keeps us going
He is the very thing that makes being a Human
Such an awesome responsibility

He is Love
And love is the great healer
Like gallant Galahad in the stories
Love comes to our broken wastelands

And makes us smile
And heals our broken hearts
As we head out the door to tell the truth of the Grail…
