Excuses
by The Monk Theophane

\"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?
