Dawn Approaches

Ownership is Empowerment

Carl Setzer

Ownership gives strength

The problems of someone else
Will never get solved

A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.

Reality and Possibility

possibility
Where is the boundary
Between reality
And possibility?

In Motion

Carl Setzer

​Dreams of motion 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Cars and vans, across deserts 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Sunlight’s glaring strength 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>The forces of life drive hard 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Each day waking 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>I’m the same bed

<

p style=”font-family:"”>With different views 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Outside this glass

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Wheels sparkle in the day 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Transitions happen 

Do not give into fear

Carl Setzer

​Do not give in to fear

Each step of acquiesce

Feeds the beast

Growing it

Face it down!

Demand it sit

Then lay down

Into the dirt

Acknowledging

Your power

Forward Motion

Carl Setzer

​It’s always time 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>For forward motion

<

p style=”font-family:"”>To step away from my past

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Into my future

<

p style=”font-family:"”>As the present fades

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Into dust 

Seattle’s Smokestorm: A Haiku

This summer’s fires

I’ve grown weary of the bad air

Longing for autumn

It’s been a challenging summer for us Seattleites. Especially though with any kind of respiratory issues. Really looking forward to the relief autumn is promising.

As one stares upwards

Admiring ornate art

Expressions in stone

 

Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).

I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.
