LESSON IN FIVE PARTS/https://claudetteellinger.wordpress.com -- Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads

Today the prompt is Lesson

LESSON IN FIVE PARTS

1.    The introduction of the lesson and what is to be learned.

2.    We think about it then put it on the back burner, so the subconscious can look at it. 

3.    We act.

4.    We make judgements.

5.    We put it in our old kit-bag, to become a part of our skill-sets.

We could call the first part of the lesson, the introduction, or the inspiration.  We are reading and we see a word, rarely used. It catches our attention, and we determine we would like to see what we can do with it.

We forget about it, we go about our daily life, secure in the knowledge we will return to it.

All the while the subconscious is turning it over, looking at ways to solve the problem.  When we do return to it, we will be refreshed and have many ideas about what we will do.

We act on the problem presented by the lesson.

We make judgements about our actions.  We ask would there be other ways we might have approached the problem.

The last part of the lesson is will we take this lesson with us and will this lesson help us in the future. If we are lucky, it will be a lesson we will not have to learn again.

Note:  I have written this to satisfy the prompt from Ladies in Waiting, which was Lesson.  And for Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads, the prompt was, a poem with five parts.
