These weird connections 

Resurrection and rabbits?

And eggs with tie-dye?


May you find blessedness this day.

Hope: Rage’s Antidote 

June 26, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Rage’s hopelessness

It’s the mirror of despair 

Hope: the antidote

Hope requires vision, and the belief that humanity can work together.

Camp Gwinwood Cross

Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts

The Dark Before Dawn

Still dark
No hints of dawn
Yet I know
It will come

I am awake in the early morning, pondering all that troubles me.

Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me

Gregorian Chant: A Haiku

October 26, 2017October 26, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Ancient words now sung
Prayers chanted, incense rising
Candlelit stone walls


So many memories within cathedral walls. Chanted prayer always makes my heart soar. Gently, though, like a bird on the wing. Not garish as a jet.
