Parsifal's Sister is about to take another path

The desk top is covered with pens, the ink is in the cupboard, the journals rest here and there, a basket, a shelf, a bookcase, a bureau. It is time to enter another dream, another project, obsessively or not, but beyond this path.

The Waterman is traveling to me from Washington State, the Pelikan M215 is journeying away from me to New England, and when they arrive in Galilee, the collection might well be complete.

The only travelers I foresee are those who must and will set off for other adventures.

And then, this Pentamento will be at rest.

It is not always about Wagner

Parsifal is among the most listened to and recognizable operas in the Wagner pantheon--but when I think of Parsifal it isn't the opera but the adventure to seek the Holy Grail.

In some ways trying to find the perfect pen and/or the perfect journal could be compared to the Grail search especially if one wants the perfect trio: pen, journal and ink.

I'm not certain perfection exists, but trying is the adventure.
