Searching

It is no secret that the movie Excalibur is one of my favorite movies. I am reminded of a scene late in the movie, the night before Arthur must do battle with his son. He approaches a Stonehenge like formation and speaks aloud to Merlin who had long ago been locked in a cave by Morgana.

  

This is actually from earlier in the movie but you get the point. He says roughly  "More than I ever did I need you now." 

I am no King. I am not meant to be the stuff of future memories. I am just a man but I have my own Merlin. Whether that Merlin is a person, inner voice in my head, or whatever doesn't matter. What matters is that there is a guiding force in my life. When it is not there, even if just for a half a day I am completely lost.
