You've reached Poe Dameron. I'm off flying something or trying not to get killed, so go ahead and leave a message and I'll get back to you eventually.

Ten years ago I wouldn't have thought of myself as a sitting still kind of guy, either. But at some point, I realized I had to find a center within myself if I was going to be any use to the people I love.

[ Kanan hesitates, but - well, maybe it'll help. Maybe it won't, either, but it's worth a try? ]

When I was blinded I got really angry at myself, and afraid I'd become a burden. That I'd be useless. I pulled away, got disconnected. I ended up inadvertently hurting the people I care most about. It took a real kick in the pants to get me back on track again.

That's probably not helpful, sorry. If nothing else, we can go have a drink while we're in non-altered states sometime.

[There's a long pause before Poe actually replies.]

No, I- get it. I don't know why but I guess i just thought you'd always had your head on straight maybe just the way hera talked about you

[ Kanan is SO NOT USED to being the one who has his shit together! ]

If it seems like my head is on straight it's probably because Hera put it that way. Credit where it's due. I was a mess before we met.

I could say being blinded forced me to trust the Force again, and the people around me, and that's all true, but the biggest thing was working out how to trust myself. I had to accept I'm never gonna see again and remember I have other strengths and qualities and I miss my eyesight like HELL sometimes but the world didn't end when I lost it. It just changed. So I adapted. It was really hard to do. I'm still figuring it out.

[ Man, that's... that kinda came out of nowhere. ]

Uh, sorry about the word vomit. I just get the feeling a lot of us from our galaxy are feeling kind of lost here. You and Hera especially. I know the feeling. You're not alone.

Yeah.

You aren't wrong, I just - this sounds a bit insane but i wish i was back in the war

this peace here? it doesn't feel... real. it feels like we're all just lining up waiting for the first blaster bolt to fly.

You don't sound insane. I've got a war to get back to as well. You sound to me like someone who's built an identity around the fight, and now you've lost that.

We might have to fight here. There are some really bad people here, and those are just the ones from our world, that I know about. Who knows who or what else is working behind the scenes? We might have to figure that out, we might have to help. I definitely think we should be ready for it.

But we also have to let things go that we can't control. Don't let the worry or the fear or the frustration eat us up inside. Remember there are people here, now, who care about us, for more than our ability to fight.
