Nothing and everything

~From Qui-Gon Jinn

A vast expanse of nothing, and everything, stretches in front of me.

Endlessness…

Some fear the unknown, but it’s quite peaceful to me; oblivion.I find a sense of balance here, That exists between all things.There is a life to the desert that most people are unable to see.

Earth, fire, the wind and the sky…

It’s beautiful, how the universe works.How you can find peace, happiness and beauty in everything; if you just open your eyes and look.

Look beyond and look within, and you’ll find that true happiness begins with you and stretches far beyond you.

It is strange how you learn these things only after death.But as it is with the desert, though you can not see the life, it is there.

Such is the way of things.You are a small speck in the vastness of the universe.So, so, infinitely small; you are nothing, and everything.

There’s always something…

Art. Art? She was at an art show, representing her father.This was not what she imagined when he’d said she could be his assistant.She thought it meant going on crazy missions and helping build the rebellion to defeat the Empire…But no, instead she was here, with some minister, getting bored, looking at the native(and damn ancient) art of this random backwater world.It was great!…

She roamed around the capital city, going from gallery to gallery; for hours…she was absolutely exhausted, but still tried to pay attention to what the minister was saying, just to be polite.She was a princess after all and blah blah blah, she needed to act like one…whatever.

She’d had a weird feeling about this trip before she’d left but wasn’t sure if it was stress, exasperation or just boredom; and it was still hanging around her stomach.As their guide was going on about some crystal ball thing, the building shook.

People started screaming—earthquake!Attack!Pirates!Take cover!It’s the rebels!—Her heart skipped a beat.What if it was the rebels?She got off the floor where most of the art work in the gallery was now strewn,(She was silently quite all right with this) and tried to think straight.What in the name of the force could have happened…Ughh;and she thought this trip was going to be uneventful…She spoke to the minister and a couple of his guards who were all milling around looking incredibly flustered…She advised everyone to stay put and calm down while she contacted Captain Antilles.

The comm-link buzzed and she jumped when she heard him yelling at her.“Thank the force you’re all ok!!We were worried sick! It’s Saw.He’s gone and blown up the east wing, this is getting out of hand your highness.We have to get out of here.Send me your location, I’m coming to get you right away.”

To The Royal Handmaiden Society…

“I don’t like all this secrecy captain.How can we be trusted if we are so deceptive?”she remarked as they jumped onto the royal Naboo cruiser.“Your highness, it is my duty to protect you at all costs.That sometimes means taking other risks for the mission”,he replied, but the look on her face suggested she didn’t appreciate it.

“I am well aware of your duties and mine but I still do not believe that many will trust us if they do not know the whole truth.The Jedi must know. Sabé can not go on pretending forever. Eventually, they will find out, and they will no doubt be disappointed. I do not wish to be the cause of that.”Noting her concern Captain Panaka reasoned…“How about I be the cause for that my lady?I admit they will find out, but for now, I do not believe that two Jedi’s disappointment should be the cause for compromising your security”

“Sometimes I wonder if I truly can disobey you,Captain.”

“You are the Queen Padmé , the final decision is yours, this is simply advice.”

“And I welcome it, but I must retire.”Smiling, they parted ways and she headed for her quarters.She was only now beginning to realise the complications and restrictions of the throne but she was a fast learner, so she thought she would be ok.

“Eirtaé !”,she called as she entered the room…”It’s good to see you.Since we’re going to Coruscant with the Jedi I need you to prepare yourselves for anything.The odds are against us but we must not loose hope.The senate may still side with us.Senator palatine is a wise man, and I trust nobody more than him, to get us out of this. Sabé , I am deeply sorry that I must continue to use you as my decoy, but Captain Panaka believes it is imperative for our safety.I must thank each of you, for your courage and service . We will free Naboo, I promise you ”

“Do not worry…we are brave your highness”
