Live the lesson

to learn the lesson.

“True. The Mudflats was the only way we could travel. And, indeed, to learn what we needed to learn.”

Brio continued, happy to see them internalize the lesson. “You’ve been learning about the way to a solution over this past year or so. Since the earthquake, you’ve been grappling with the ways your thinking contradicts Elgo’s natural tendencies. The truth is, you’ve put too much importance on being right. Remember how you didn’t want to let go of your point of view in the Vine Spot? Think of how detrimental the need to be right all the time was to your ant and elephant relationship. You are living through the traumatic stages of your personal earthquake—the fight just to survive, the powerful forces of anxiety and panic. You never gave up during these terrible days in the Mudflats.

“In other words, you have experienced the power of the Solution Loop.”

“The What Loop?” Adir said, scratching his head.

“The Solution Loop. It is a sequence of phases that, if you follow them, will enable you and Elgo to finally escape the feeling of being stuck. You have already unknowingly experienced the six phases. Now you’re ready to explore how to make them work for you. Follow this sequential loop and you will be able to test solutions until you find one that gets you unstuck.”

Brio pulled out two maple leaves and opened them up. Lying flat was a rare six-petal plumeria flower. Each petal had words inscribed on it. The flower was preserved with a clear, thin, hardened resin. The end of the stem had a hole in it. Brio laid it at Adir’s feet.

“Look at this sequence as phases of what you have experienced since the earthquake. As best you can, describe it to Elgo. A collection of these phases is the way for both of you to escape any future version of a mudflat like the one you just found yourselves in. These mudflats of the mind are not dissimilar to the helpless, stuck feeling you had at the Oasis after the earthquake, or the stuck sensation you experienced at the Vine Spot, or even the one you felt during that brief encounter at the banks of the Splitnit River when the wolves were attacking you. For any challenges you’ve had, or the ones you will have, the Solution Loop is your eventual way out.”

Adir thought about how, in each situation, he had felt helpless and stuck. Brio’s words piqued his curiosity.

Adir looked at the flower.

The topmost of the plumeria petals said, “Grasp the Contradiction.”
