Grail Collaboration By Ashley Christudason @artist_jungle_eye And Joshua S. Levin Joshualevinart

"Grail" Collaboration between myself and Ashley Christudason.

Ecstasy flows freely from this chalice
when a hero overcomes fears
of breaking convention,
and finds courage and means to live
in accordance with the spirit of his nature.

The grail knight is at first reluctant to speak freely,
to claim and declare his truth,
because doing so will conflict
with the social order.

When at last he makes himself heard,
it is by questioning the foundations of those limitations.

"To whom do you serve," the hero asks of himself?

One can serve little ideas or big institutions.

One can serve little kings or great teachers.

One can serve money, dogma, and righteousness of all kinds,
and each of these will bring its victories and defeats.

But there is, beneath it all, a bigger mystery, a grander force,
an energy that radiates "yes" within and around all dualities.

Some drink from that cup.

May you draw deep from the well of souls!
