Klausydama podcasto apie savęs sabotavimą išgirdau Portia Nelson poemą.
Penkiais lakoniškais skyriais autorė perteikia besikeičiantį žmogaus santykį su savo praeitimi: iš bejėgiško kartojimo, per savo atsakomybės prisiėmimą – į pokytį, naujų patirčių kūrimą.
Dalinuosi poema. (Podcastas irgi puikus – rekomenduoju.)
AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS
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.
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.
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.
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.
