Despite having an excellent teacher, young Hana does not grasp the true nature of the box. For example, she approaches the box at an improper angle. Maru shows her that one must be in harmony with the box, so that the box contains the cat and in turn the cat envelops the box. Only then can enlightenment be achieved.
He’s so deep, Andrew Y.
I wonder what inspired Hana to get so into boxes lately…
I think this is a deep and touching story about Hana and Maru’s relationship – I got a little misty-eyed.
Their bond is so sweet.
Maru: “Let me show you The Way, my child.”
Hana: “Oh thank you, my Master.”
Can you imagine trying to follow in the pawsteps of someone as talented and universally adored as Maru?? Nobody can be expected to live up to that image. 😊
