A poem from American singer-songwriter, Portia Nelson, describing her life. I hope it resonates with you. It sure did with me.
Chapter 1
--------------
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost… I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter 2
--------------
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter 3
--------------
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter 4
--------------
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter 5
--------------
I walk down another street.
