Holy Grail?

The open area of the bottom of the Λ, perhaps?

Any wonder why people can't locate it?

No vision. "It's just these three stars" yada yada..

I mean really, the stuff that just sits there:

>>>

Though some controversy exists as to whether the Grail was a cup or a platter, it is generally depicted in art as a chalice of considerable size and unusual beauty...

>>>

The Holy Cup can be discovered only by those who have raised themselves above the limitations of sensuous existence. In his mystic poem, The Vision of Sir Launfal, James Russell Lowell discloses the true nature of the Holy Grail by showing that it is visible only to a certain state of spiritual consciousness.

Only upon returning from the vain pursuit of haughty ambition did the aged and broken knight see in the transformed leper's cup the glowing chalice of his lifelong dream. Some writers trace a similarity between the Grail legend and the stories of the martyred Sun Gods whose blood, descending from heaven into the earth, was caught in the cup of matter and liberated therefrom by the initiatory rites.

The Holy Grail may also be the seed pod so frequently employed in the ancient Mysteries as an emblem of germination and resurrection; and if the cuplike shape of the Grail be derived from the flower, it signifies the regeneration and spiritualization of the generative forces in man.

Mine is copy 439 of 800. And yours? 😉

I suppose a... schooner produced in cobalt blue would effectively camouflage the thing -- nothing to sea there, just a vintage water glass.

Not to leave out the bigger picture goal, which is the inversion of the natural order ("venahafoch hu", a trump):

See how EZ? Baby Steps -- Bob was totally sold on the idea. It saved his life!

It's the Good News "Challenge".

Winning!

Yet... few find the way -- can't even locate a silver lining to save their lives. Bad for business, I suppose. Fear sells. If it bleeds it leads.

Every eye shall see...
