Lesson Three

Luke’s third lesson for Rey was a test.To see if she could open her mind to the force and if she had the will of a true Jedi.He tells her there’s a fire raging on the far side of the island and then goes about his business.Conflict!Pain!Death!she heard, but did not feel.She rushed to save them, without stopping to think.She Raced across the shore at full speed.If Luke wasn’t going to do anything,she would have to be the one to save this sacred island.She arrived at a local party with warm fires crackling merrily in every hut.She was disappointed.Not only in Luke,for his misinformation, but in herself.If she wanted to be a Jedi,she would have to start acting like one…thinking like one.”I shouldn’t be mad at him”,she told herself as she walked back to the temple,”it wasn’t his fault.This was a test, and I failed.”
