Parzival

I am reading Parzival with a friend from British Columbia and it has me thinking about the search for the Holy Grail.

I just wrote a note to a subscriber:

“One way to organize your finances is to ask yourself the theoretical question: if the most powerful people in the world were planning to depopulate the global population down to 500 million and the US population down to 100 million, how would I ensure that my family and those I love were among the 100 million and how would I do that in a manner that could contribute to a grassroots/divine effort to transform the situation entirely?”

So, I can relate to a medieval poem about a knight that spends a lifetime searching for something.

  1. Catherine, I suggest you obtain a good recording, or, if you ever have a chance, attend a live production of Ricard Wagner’s opera, Parsival. It is both one of his most lyrical and one of his most intense works. And, yes, I know that’s saying something! David

  2. I am a big opera fan, more a Puccini lover than Wagner. I shall take your advice, however. Is there a recording you would recommend?

    Thanks!
