Christopher Hansard:[ Thankfulness]

Seeking, trying to find meaning, healing, loving, having a perfect life

comsuming, been Green and kinder, softer but blinder

in a rush but not knowing why, seeking , sensing, desiring

finding connection, establishing foundations

settling down.. these are some of the demands of the modern world

but they are not a modern life,

life makes its own path,

society creates false visions of it

life is complete in itself

if you can pause, and lowering your defenses

stop to receive the immensity of it

life offers us all that we need

not what we should consume

economic theories have infiltrated the beliefs of personality and identity

money and ethics have become intertwined

yet a flower or a raindrop, a mountain or a weed

they are complete in themselves and are nothing more than what they are

and yet by been just themselves, link one to the other

pause to receive life’s immensity and fecund gifts

then you will discover that when things are brought back to basics

they all come down to thankfulness
