Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

by Portia Nelson

CHAPTER ONE

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 my way out.

CHAPTER TWO

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.

CHAPTER THREE

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 FOUR

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

CHAPTER FIVE

I walk down another street.
