Why this must be read:
The Retreat is a sweet little story about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan communing with the Force and each other before Obi-Wan has to return to the Temple and take over the duties of a senior padawan. It's quiet and contemplative, for all that it is also hot.
With his corrected stance, he was able to make some progress, and he allowed his mind to fracture -- one part concentrating on digging while the other mused upon his revelation. Attachments were forbidden the Jedi, and for good reason. Attachments could pose a danger, could create a weakness, a vulnerability that could be exploited by their enemies. The Jedi were not looked upon with universal love and kindness in the galaxy, and so they were taught never to care too deeply, not even masters for their padawans. It was simply too dangerous to express a desire for commitment, to care for someone too much. To love.
But Qui-Gon loved, Obi-Wan mused as he continued to dig. Qui-Gon loved with a passion that was like his other emotions -- peaceful, serene, and gentle. He loved working with his hands and encouraging things to grow. He loved helping strays and those lost or misled, going out of his way to help animals and others less fortunate. He loved the simplest pleasures in life: a bath after working hard; a book by the fire in the evening; a simple meal cooked perfectly.
The more Obi-Wan thought about it, the more it seemed to him to be proper, correct. He had been taught to have serenity over passion, but nowhere did the Code forbid love. Perhaps love is not dependant upon passion, and at the thought, he felt the Force humming happily around him. He dwelled upon that revelation, tasted it with his Force sense, and the Force replied, telling him that yes, his thoughts were indeed proper and approved.
