Visit from Bhante this afternoon, with the nun who finally made it from Thailand with a bit of help from officials on getting the right phraseology to answer the abstruse questions on their forms!

It reminds me of the Fisher King in Jessie L Weston's Ritual to Romance, where the Knight (Sir Gawain) had the power to cure his mysterious ailment, but only if he asked the right question, which nobody told him.
