Entry Twenty-Five
I talked to Master Yoda.
I happened to be in the crèche in the Masters room to look at the initiates and he was there, too, almost as if he'd been expecting me.
I was watching both Obi-Wan and Siri Tachi, as I was debating what to do, when the Master said for me to follow the will of the Force. This only served to frustrate me, because as I can see the Force is giving two right answers to different people.
Then he reminded me that's not necessarily true, just how I was interpreting it. If I used my feelings, I would find the answers I sought.
The Master had come to offer his advice and had known I needed counsel.
Master Yoda is truly wise.
He's right, just because I interpret something one way does not mean it's the will of the Force, and I must trust my instincts.
As I pondered what Master Yoda had said, I finally left the crèche to seek solace from the Force. I sat in my favorite place in the gardens and meditated for a long time, desperately seeking answers.
I considered the various alternatives, not taking a padawan at all, taking Obi-Wan or taking Siri and Master Dooku taking Obi-Wan.
The only thing that gave me that same feeling of rightness, and surety was Obi-Wan. Siri felt good to work with as well, that is true, but even despite that it did not feel as right.
Nor does it now.
Obi-Wan is meant to be my apprentice.
I am sure of that.
Now I suppose I must go and ask the Council for it's approval first, and then ask the boy if he will accept.
