An Autobiography In Five Short Chapters
I 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.
II I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
III 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. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
IV I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
V I walk down the street.
-Portia Nelson
