a good friend and i
have decided to start
a local advice column
called, ‘trial & error.’
i’m trial, she’s error.
when people ask us what to do
our advice will mostly come
from a place of ‘what not to do,’
based upon personal experience.
perhaps someone will heed our advice,
though most likely they won’t.
that’s
how life is
and
how we learn.

Let’s look at history… so many things that showed us how it is NOT working… we make the same mistakes again and again… As you say, that is how life so often is.

how many things are learned –

I think a lot is learned but it always depends on what again results from that. Progress opens new doors to go several ways again…

I’ve heard over the years, and repeat it myself, we don’t learn from the mistakes of others. Only our own. That’s why we are so imperfect. :)

It’s a good idea. We do learn from our mistakes. Is this a real endeavor or just for the sake of the poem?

Beth – have fun with this new adventure. The image of Einstein fits, because … you know he was a “trial-and-error” guy. Do you have some snow up there?
LikeLiked by 1 person
yes he was, as most good scientists are. yes, some snow, but not too much. kind of a mild winter as the season goes.

Neat idea! Which reminds me–my husband Scotchguarded his new jacket, let it air dry outside for a day, then put it in the closet. The closet smells like sadness and sin. That’s what Scotchguard does to jacket material. We bleached it in hot water, let it sit in the cold air for a WEEK, covered it with dryer sheets, Lysoled the heck out of it, and still the potent smell of Scotchguard contaminates everything it touches. Lesson: Scotchguarding tennis shoes, fine. Jackets, not so much.
