It is morning, early morning, and there is a Jedi Master of the Old Order outside, going over morning drills.

Feel free to watch or interrupt.

No, not all drills involve lightsabers.

"Good is a relative term; there is no such thing as abslute good, or perfection, there is the constant work for self-improvement." As often, catching her line of thought without having to read her mind. "When I meet someone who seems to me to be further ahead in the path of enlightement, I find it refreshing and inspiring, since it means I still have more roads to walk."

"That's not me." she says plainly, "Or at least it wasn't. Still not sure if it is. I liked my life. It was carefree and fun. Enlightnement was for those like Duncan and Darius."

"We all can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we all can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. Enlightement is not an exotic code of conduct or cryptic knowledge. There is no need to give up joy."

So speaks the 54 yr old celibatary monk.

Hmm yes and that is a pity. So many women who haven't been able to show him the pleasures of the flesh.

With a sigh, "That I understand. But things were so much simpler then." smiling though, "But then if 1200 years of life has taught me it's that there is no going back. Time moves forward and what's done is done. Nothing to do but move forward." yes starting to feel more like her old self.

"But it does not mean you have to do again what you did in the past, or how you did in the past."

"No. That is the beauty of the moment. Each moment is a choice. A change to chose our path. After all a path is made up of many individual steps the direction of which may change at anytime."

"And many people feel comfortable with a stable axis to hold them from straying too far."

Amanda laughs, "I think I lost that sometime ago." it amazes her how the last year fells almost as long as the whole rest of her life.

"You can set another." And yes, she can, if she wants.

Nodding, "In time I will. First I think I'd like to figure out what I would like it to be."

"You can also decide what you do -not- wnat to be."

Nodding, "Yes there is that."

"As you remember, time moves on, and as it moves, it opens doors."

"And I look forwward to seeing where these new ones take me. I certainly don't mind the one that opened for me a year ago. I'm glad that I have met so many wonderful people and look forward to meeting many more."

"That is very good." He nods, almost smiling.

It may not be his style but Amanda embraces him in a hug nonetheless giving him a kiss onthe forehead.

Mace blinks... well, he returns the hug, some. Close contact is not something he is used with.

Letting go of him. THe tone changes a bit, "Would you care to join me for some meditation?"

"I would be honored to."
