Dearest yogi & yogini,

 
An autobiography in five chapters from Portia Nelson:

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.
