Stuff My Life Coach Said, Told in Haiku Form

Lynn Tryba

--

I was reviewing notes I’ve taken over the past few months of working with a life coach. It struck me some of the things I’ve jotted down could be put into haiku form. Granted, these aren’t really haikus; there’s mostly no mention of nature in them. But they do have three lines consisting of five syllables, then seven syllables, and ending in five syllables. I hope you find a verse that resonates with you.

Ego loves its cage

of safety. Living, breathing

thing fights for its life.

Ego fears feelings.

It will self-sabotage you.

It fears your freedom.

Fear is alignment

to belief that God’s not here.

This fear is a lie.
