Dreams of the open road

Carl Setzer

Once I dreamt 

Of the open road’s

Mysteries and delights

Envisioning freedom

And escape, adventures

The discovery of myself

Now I see

Cold nights 

Buried in blankets

Fog inside on windows

Surf’s call outside and loud 

Sleep’s Demands 

Carl Setzer

Finally it ends

Laying in the darkness thinking

Sleep’s demand winnin

A Tuesday Morning Haiku

An Unconventional Life

Carl Setzer

My life’s been lived

At a right-angle 

To reality


I’ve always valued originality over all else. 


Sirens in the Dead of Night

The power of dawn

Carl Setzer

As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns

Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day.

Eternal movement 

Hands sprinting on these dials

Relentless motion 

Roll The Clocks Back

I sometimes wonder 

If we should roll our clocks back

Into sundials

Your Best Work Isn’t “Nothing”

Carl Setzer

As you may have noticed, I think very highly of Seth Godin. This blog post gave words to an idea I’ve been considering:

Money for nothing

Seth says “…your best work isn’t nothing…”. I adore that! A reminder that our work is valuable, that our lives have worth. Seeking shortcuts to accomplishment not only shortchanges the one seeking the easy path, it short changes us all. We need to see the value we add, embrace that, and, then, get to work!
I hope you have a marvelously productive Monday!
