Christopher Hansard:[ birth]

each child born

enables another to pass on

each child born brings

a planet into form

each child born

brings another pearl to the

necklace

each child born

brings another

to awakening

each child

born

brings spirit

into form

from which we

are all

born

Christopher Hansard:[ abundance]

if you want

abundance

in your life

then first accept

the things that you lack,

not material things only

but emotional states and moods

then on knowing what they are

be thankful for them

give them up for a more skilful option

Christopher Hansard:[ holding the bag]

who holds the bag

in which all your life is stuffed?

the power and the spirit

of your impulse to be born?

if you speak aloud these words

your inner self will complete  the verse

and you will hold the bag

and awake from

the sleeping state

Christopher Hansard:[ what do you think you know]

what do

you think

you know?

are you really sure

of what you think and why?

You are not your  thoughts

and yet thinking can make it so

identity is a subtle trap

and oft times caught

in rumour and speculation

all to do with how

we think and know our selves

by thinking

Christopher Hansard:[ the wish]

the wish

you have that waits to be

dwells within

a half seen mystery

the wish you have that waits to be

is you

unseen, unmade

to be the wish you wish to be

become the unseen mystery

Christopher Hansard:[ acceptance]

when the challenges in your life do not seem to change

accept them and yourself in relationship to them

you are not them, they are not you

but they are expressions

of movement through

a maze

that will only show its purpose

until after all is resolved

acceptance is patient wisdom

it can set you free

and move stuck obstacles

bringing

change,insight and healing

acceptance changes the balance of things

give thanks, accept, give thanks, accept

and from that comes the

right and appropriate action

Christopher Hansard:[ where is your mind?]

where is your mind

today?

is it in the past or future

does it skirt around

a fenced in present moment?

is it caught in a conversation

from the past, or one to be had in the future?

do you find yourself seduced by memories

and what ifs?

where is your mind?

Look within and see

it is waiting to be recognised

the mind is a palette of many experiences

like a cloud that covers a clear blue sky

passing with a prevailing wind

where is your mind?

Christopher Hansard:[ healing]

healing

is a state

of being

that comes

from a state of mind

which arises from

a state of existance

derived from a state of suffering

healing is not the absence of suffering

but is the state of understanding

Christopher Hansard:[ light finds a way]

light finds a way

to move and

be in all things

it permeates

everything

light moves

in a cycle

always

back

to itself

illumination is not light

but the recognition of light

which ignites its intensity and brilliance

Christopher Hansard:[ words]

every sentence

each and every word

an utterance

is a spell

of making

sustaining

or unmaking

of creating

or uncreating

of breaking or mending

or becoming

of being

of non-being
