Christopher Hansard: [ Fanfare]

applause

adulation

hopes of a nation

the tide came in

a cresting wave

now is pulling back to the far sea

a tsunami soon to come

a string of held breaths

a sigh

the full moon casts its light

on the event

Christopher Hansard:[ People]

people gravitate to the densest form of matter

it is easier to be drawn to that

than to break free

in search of the light of individuality

to go beyond the tribe

and seek

the one

Christopher Hansard:[ history]

History is not made

it is fabricated

it is a form of advertising

that portays an opinion

just as movies that portray fiction as fact

so history

is a metaphor

from which to learn from

but not to believe in

otherwise it becomes both

religion and dogma

Christopher Hansard:[ the word]

the

word

which was

the first word

was not uttered

but heard

and having been heard

was made into form

and from form

came function and structure

of all that

IS 

then, and now, when, who and how

are mirages of this fleeting world

us and them, echoes of subtle rumours

there is only

IS

the word

which was

the first word

was not uttered

but

heard

Christopher Hansard:[ interlude]

the world made by mankind

is a mere interlude

between time and space

shimmering

and gone

like smoke

on the wind

Christopher Hansard:[ Hubris]

hubris makes the heart grow weaker

though for many its the fertilizer in which

weeds will grow

Christopher Hansard:[Space]

take the language

that dwells

in the unbroken dialogue

of time

and see

the

meem(ories)

like mist and vapour

swirling

what is it that you see?

the world,

a peeled spiral

caught in

an anti-clockwise turn

etches out

the sounds of life

reverberating

in the meandering

of space

Christopher Hansard:[ Democracy]

hitler danced with old teutonic wolves

ice hounds of the Vril

trapped by vague imagining of immortality

he sort to replace democracy with self rule

of the self

ego strength and will

democracy though,like capitalism

is a age old viral belief

of all humanity

material cornerstones

for the inner evolution of the species

if you want to change the world

first change your Self

then the world will follow

there are two ways

one in a resplendent blaze of incandescent psychic force

or quietly in the dark blue shadows

where history is but a whisper

Chistopher Hansard:[ Fruition]

The search for meaning

has no meaning in itself

the search for power

ends up in inner powerlesness

the search for pleasure

results in an

absence of pleasure

the search for love

does not bring love

the search for order

animates chaos

the search for being

renews the world

creates the spark of nature

and brings

life

into fruition

Christopher Hansard:[ a pause]

take

a

pause

whether it be

a moment,an hour or a day

or a year,

take a pause

to look not where you are going

or where you have been

but

where

you

are
