"Is That So?"

The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbors as one living a pure life.

A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him.  Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.

This made her parents angry.  She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin.

In great anger the parents went to the master.  “Is that so?” was all he would say.

After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin.  By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child.  He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the little one needed.

A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer.  She told her parents the truth–that the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket.

The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask his forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back again.

Hakuin was willing.  In yielding the child, all he said was: “Is that so?”

One day, some people came to the master and asked: ‘How can you be so happy in a world of such impermanence, where you cannot protect your loved ones from harm, illness and death?’ The master held up a glass and said: ‘Someone gave me this glass, and I really like this glass. It holds my water admirably and it glistens in the sunlight. One day the wind may blow it off the shelf, or my elbow may knock it from the table. I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it incredibly.’

Patience is a virtue, even when times pass and you think you can’t bear any more, waiting even an hour longer can always pay off. So too shall this bullshit blow over.... ugh.

Sociality is an exhausting but required part of existing. :/

[umuri]

So much to do, so much that can’t be done. It is frustrating to want to take actions and knowing it’s either illadvised or can’t fit with everything else at this time. Much like trying to make this stupid 9 measure phrase work with a partnered dance. Or the fact that half my hobbies involve being social when it’s something i’m super bad at. Oh well. om nom brownies.

I have infinite patience.... Unless we’re waiting for brownies to cool. They need to hurry their ass up and chill the fuck out. ..... are they done yet?
