art: feel the force around you

[wrennette]

for my ally is the force, and a powerful ally it is. life creates it, makes it grow. it’s energy surrounds and binds us. luminous beings we are, not this crude matter. you must feel the force around you; here between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere.

for the 'the force' prompt for jedi june on tumblr. yoda’s words to luke on dagobah is one of my earliest memories of star wars, and it really stuck with me. i think this is something that yoda would teach to all the young jedi he had a hand in training, how to feel the force alive and flowing in the world around them. which of course brings us to qui-gon jinn, one of the loudest proponents of listening to the living force in the here and now. i feel like they would have enjoyed just sitting in nature together, and feeling the force around them.
