Description

Another mythical relic. Many people hunt for it, too, but it's a strange matter more than other objects. No one find it... if it exists for real. Is the "Holy Graal" the essence of life? I imagine it as a cosmic symbol of life rather than a material artifact, althought of divine nature. At the end, it may not be possibility of human beings to understand the real inner significance of this symbol.

Perhaps it stands for the ideals we reach for that are (nearly) unattainable. Still, laudable in the attempt. WE are but human: a fact, not an excuse.

Beautiful pose and expression! I like that she is sitting before one of natures great mysteries. Just as you have to open a geode to see what's inside, maybe our minds have to be opened further before we can understand cosmic symbols. Lovely image!

Hm, well if it has an angel as pretty as her careing for it than I should start looking for it. Just kidding.. The holy grail can stay in our imaginations, as long as the idea of it can guide some lost souls to a higher good than it has done it's job... Colorful image, and cute angel. Thanks for stopping in to my gallery.
