GROUND  HOG  DAY

 

Some of the same things

happen to us every day.

We are repeat performances.

We all have our  same shadows -

whether we notice them or not.

We repeat  ourselves.

We deceive ourselves.

We meet ourselves on

the back staircase trying

to avoid what’s happening

on the front staircase.

Humility is being honest

to ourselves about ourselves.

Better: to laugh at ourselves.

Now that’s a key to get.
