September 23. “Where’s Dost? I didn’t see him doing yoga with you this morning!”

“Button, Dost had a flight to catch and was getting ready to leave when I was doing yoga.”

“Dost doesn’t talk to me or write to me anymore.”

“Why don’t you make the attempt of talking to him? He’s busy and, therefore, preoccupied.”

“I just feel he’ll get angry.”

“Why should he get angry? I feel it will be a wonderful break for him if you sit down and chat with him.”

“What will I chat with him about?”

“If nothing else, he’ll do the talking. He’s a wonderful story teller.”

“I love listening to stories.”

“That’s the reason I gave you the news.”

“When is he back? But you’re sure he won’t get angry if I sit down to have a chat with him!”

“Not at all. Try him.”
