"Why not?"¯ that was the first thing he said. He had never seen me before. I hadn't said a word. "Why not?"¯ I knew he had me.
I brought up excuses: "My wife... the people I have to work with ... not enough time... I guess it's my temperament..."
There was a sword hanging on the wall. He took it and gave it to me. "Here, with this sword, you can cut through any barriers."¯ I took it and slipped away without saying a word.
Back in my room in the guesthouse I sat down and kept looking at that sword. I knew that what he said was true.
But the next day I returned his sword. How can I live without my excuses?
