Skywalker here. Leave a message, and I'll get back to you.

[ Luke let out a snort. ]

Peace and quiet? Here?

[ With so many Skywalkers in one place? H A H A H A ]

That just keeps coming up in short supply these days.

Kid, I've spent the past several years living in close quarters with two angry teenagers, a murderous astromech and a Lasat who smells worse than all of them combined most of the time. If I can find ways to meditate in that situation, you can do it here.

[ He clicks his tongue a bit. ]

I maintain a space at NeoJedha for it, though I also enjoy doing it outside, too. There's lots of nice parks in Heropa especially.

[ ...that sounds worse than Chewie on a bad day. Luke winced in sympathy. ]

Y-yeah, some of the parks here are nice. This is the smaller of the towns we can live in, so it's definitely more peaceful in general.

I like to be outside for it. The Force connects all life, after all, and being among some of that life is soothing.

Especially after so much time on ships.

[ Luke laughed softly. ]

I don't know about that. I feel like the peace and quiet of space is much more calming.

Different things work for different people. You're from... Tatooine, I think I heard?

Yeah; I was a moisture farmer before... everything.

That's right, Tatooine is pretty arid.

[ Ezra had gone on an... excursion to Tatooine not long before Kanan showed up here. Met Obi-Wan there, even. Kanan is clever enough to put two and two together, and he's pretty sure there's a bigger story here that he doesn't quite have all the pieces to -

But he's not interested in prying into that. Not at the moment. ]

Figuring out what works best for you is key. I mean, you do need to be versatile - I can definitely meditate just as easily on our ship - the Ghost - as I can in a forest, but knowing your own preferences, your own mind and body, is a step towards mastery.

[ Luke nodded absently to himself. ]

...I think that may be part of my problem. I'm... not as familiar with myself as I thought I was.

[ Bespin proved that, among other things. ]

Realizing that is true wisdom, my friend.
