If we loved beauty 

Carl Setzer

Imagine if
We obsessed
Over beauty
With the
Same energy
We invest
Into rage

Finding Beauty

p style=”font-family:"”>There are moments of beauty

p style=”font-family:"”>Which make my soul sing 

The draw of contentment

Carl Setzer

Laying upon sheets 

Contentment flows within 

The world’s demands 

Speak oh so loudly 

Eventually I must heed 

This siren’s call 

Why I’m Awake At 3:00 AM

Welcome to Wednesday

Carl Setzer

Welcome to today
At the middle of the week
Promise keeps growing

Ah, the middle of the week; bearing it’s challenges. May you continue to go forward, grow and expand in knowledge and wisdom. 

Peace to you all, my friends. 

Do you love women, or just vaginas?

Carl Setzer

For so many men
The claim they love women
Means they’re fond of vaginas
And they miss so very much

Of what it means to
Connect with others and
Understanding love

For a vagina
Is only a small piece
Of what it means
To be woman

Early Morning Anxieties 

Carl Setzer

Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest 

My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget. 


Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know 

Carl Setzer

Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know

I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work.  And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant. 


This Morning’s Haiku

Came out this morning
This new bloom to greet the day
