My Fave Life Metaphor (Deep hole in the sidewalk)

on June 13, 2017 IN Philosophy & Spirituality
dark night of the soul depression higher consciousness limited beliefs

1.) I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost…
I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

 
2.) 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’m in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

 
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
My eyes are open; I know where I am;
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

 
4.) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

 

5.) I walk down another street.
