The story begins with the King as a boy having to spend the night alone in a forest to prove his courage so he can become King.<\/i><\/div>\n
While he’s spending the night alone….he is visited by a sacred vision. Out of the campfire appears the Holy Grail…the symbol of God’s divine grace.<\/i><\/div>\n
And a voice said to the boy<\/i><\/div>\n
 ” You shall be keeper of the Grail so that it may heal the hearts of men”<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But the boy was blinded by greater visions of a life filled with power and glory and beauty.<\/i><\/div>\n
In this state of radical amazement, he felt for a brief moment not like a boy…but invincible. like God.<\/i><\/div>\n
So he reached into the fire to take the grail…and the grail vanished, leaving him with his hand in the fire to be terribly wounded.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now as this boy grew older, his wound grew deeper, until one day, life for him lost its reason.<\/i><\/div>\n
He had no faith in any man, not even in himself.<\/i><\/div>\n
He couldn’t love, or feel loved.<\/i><\/div>\n
he was sick with experience.<\/i><\/div>\n
He began to die.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One day, a fool wandered into the castle, and found the King alone.<\/i><\/div>\n
Being a fool, he was simpleminded. He didn’t see a King.<\/i><\/div>\n
He only saw a man alone, and in pain.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He asked the King “What ails you friend?”<\/i><\/div>\n
The King replied….<\/i><\/div>\n
“I’m thirsty. I need some water to cool my throat.”<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/i><\/div>\n
So the fool took a cup from beside his bed, and filled it with water…and handed it to the King.<\/i><\/div>\n
As the King began to drink, he realized that his wound was healed. He looked in his hands, and there was the Holy Grail….that which he sought all his life.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He turned to the fool and said with amazement…<\/i><\/div>\n
” How could you find that which my brightest and bravest could not?”<\/i><\/div>\n
 <\/i><\/div>\n
The fool replied, ” I don’t know…I only knew that you were thirsty”<\/i><\/div>\n
