Autobiography in 5 Short Chapters

I read this poem, and it  struck me as a great summary of the Toltec journey!!

I
I walk down the street,
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost - I am helpless
It isin't my fault,
It takes forever to find a way out

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 am in this same place.
But it isin't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

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

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

V
I walk down another street!!!!
