Views from my Walks: Tonight’s Haiku

October 29, 2019 Carl Setzer

Walking past this church

Light searing into the sky

Quiet song of nights

Our fears lie

The lie of our fears:

We’d rather face our regrets

Than fail at passion

It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?

Morning Haiku, October 27, 2019

The morning quiet

I am awaiting the dawn

Brisk autumnal air

Here in Seattle autumn’s fully present. Leaves blow around. Rake’s efforts needed. The time for sweaters, jackets and scarves arrived. A happy time for me.

Beauty in Action: Tonight’s Haiku

October 17, 2019 Carl Setzer

Our lives are motion
There is beauty in action
The drumming rainfall

Wishing you a restful night.

Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.

Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.

Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.
