Universal Autobiography

Oops… 🙈 ;-) — Reminds me of this poem…

Do you remember/ know it :-)?

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.”

— Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying


In other words: “Caution, bad road surface!” ;-)

Difficult? I understand!

I love guiding you attuned to your personal needs.

Being fully yourself and living with joy!

Feel very welcome for a Session!

Love!

P.S. Not all words may resonate e.g. ‘my fault’. Look for the deeper meaning if that suits you better.
