A Morning Meditation: Jealousy

Carl Setzer


Today’s Haiku:

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Focus lost with ease

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Jealousy’s dangerous voice

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Broken clarity 

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>It is an easy trap, losing myself into comparisons. The resulting lack of focus damages my journey. Seek, then, clarity and my eyes pointed towards love. 

My family, trampled by the flu 

Carl Setzer

​My son has pretty much recovered from the latest stomach bug…now it’s my wife’s turn 

Abruptly awake 

Weary of microbes cruel work 

Fearful I am next

Believe in Yourself: A Haiku

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Believe in yourself

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>There is power in dreaming 

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Live: energizing

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>*I’m saddened when self-doubt cripples dreams. 

Parenting Woes

Carl Setzer

This winter’s night calls

Unasked for and painful gifts

The vomit fairy

Ah, awake with a sick kid. 

An unpleasant night time filling my time for rest. 

Tuesday night’s haiku

​As the light now fades

This frantic day now finds peace

Music liberates
