What's Ahead? by Mary Ellen Swartz (revised)

Autobiography in Five Chapters (Tibetan Book of Living and Dying)
Chapter 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.
Chapter 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.
Chapter 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.
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down another street.
