A Start to 2023

As we enter into 2023, may your learnings be many and reflections abundant as you navigate new streets to explore. 


AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS

Chapter I

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. 

Chapter 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'm in the same place.

 But it isn't my fault. 

It still takes a long time to get out. 

Chapter 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. 

Chapter IV 

I walk down the same street. 

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. 

I walk around it. 

Chapter V 

I walk down another street.
