Happy new year to everyone! Today while reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying I ran into a good poem to remind you how to deal with new year’s resolutions and figured it would make a great post to start the year off with.<\/p>\n
Autobiography in Five Chapters<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 1) I walk down the street. 2) I walk down the same street. 3) I walk down the same street. 4) I walk down the same street. 5) I walk down another street.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere is a deep hole in the sidewalk
\nI fall in.
\nI am lost… I am hopeless.
\nIt isn’t my fault.
\nIt takes forever to find a way out.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere is a deep hole in the sidealk.
\nI pretend I don’t see it.
\nI fall in again.
\nI can’t believe I’m in the same place.
\nBut it isn’t my fault.
\nIt still takes a long time to get out.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere is a deep hole in the sidewalk
\nI see it is there.
\nI still fall in… it’s a habit
\nMy eyes are open
\nI know where I am
\nIt is <\/em>my fault
\nI get out immediately.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere is a deep hole in the sidewalk
\nI walk around it.<\/em><\/p>\n
