Christopher Hansard:[ prejudice]

more people have

prejudice

in common

compassion and harmony

challenge people

making them look to their inner Self

prejudice is much more comfortable

Christopher Hansard:[ wisdom]

there is a wisdom

which lives in all that is

it has no purpose

but just to be

itself and by its dwelling in things

it is complete and free

it is you, us ,them, all,

Christopher Hansard:[ natural way]

if you seek to find meaning in your life

you will find that there

is a natural way

if you seek safety and freedom from harm

you can know

that there is a natural way

if you want love and companionship

there is  a natural way

where can this be found?

when you give up the search

and realise

that it is

already

within you

get to know the natural way

and it will get to know you

and all that you wish to be and have

will be revealed and you then will know

if you should have or need it so

all things retuirn to the natural way

all things are the natural way in disguise

Christopher Hansard:[ If]

If,

you can not cultivate wisdom

then show restraint in all your thoughts and actions,

If you can not show love to your fellow human being,

then try to demonstrate politeness in all circumstances,

If you can not show balance in a difficult situation

withdraw so that you may reclaim your thoughts,

If you can not love your self

then forgive this lack of love

and learn how to co-exist with this

until you heal

If you are overwhelmed by the world

stop and sit in the overwhelming turbulence

do nothing and it will become still

and the storm will dissapate

If you feel alone

know that only fear within

promotes the addiction to the anguish

of aloneness

there comes a time

when ‘If’

no longer can be a choice

Christopher Hansard:[where sunlight falls upon winter's shadow]

where sunlight falls upon winter’s shadow

there life sings a triumphant song

of eternity and rejoices

in the seasons

for although Spring may come but once a year

it is always in your heart

and although Summer may blaze bright

it’s heat is always in your bones,

and as the chill of Autumn’s winds

may blow the leaves out of sight

know that Autumn’s wisdom is one of natural change

and that all things change as they must

and Winter, is the resting point

where all the seasons are recharged

and life is made anew in the silence in the heart

of snow fall and darkened days

for where sunlight falls

so do our prayers

for every season is a prayer

and as such a form of life

sacred and part of all

Christopher Hansard:[ tidal ways]

if you study the

ways of the tides

whether sea, river, lake or cosmos

you discover the fabric of history

and the story of humankind

you discover the 1st, 3rd and 7th laws of nature

and understand them

when you observe and study

the tidal ways

Christopher Hansard:[ the kraken in the sewer]

there’s a kraken in the sewer

of every big city

made by everyone who lives in  them

metaphysical and physical

the monster stirs and breathes

the anguish of the human dash

brings more fuel

and cash

to the kraken

in the sewers

and stokes the

darkness of the time

in which we dwell

but soon kraken hunters

will descend into the

labrynth of

our social minds

and light will flood

and wash away the kraken

who poses as the

heroes of the day

Christopher Hansard:[ looking back]

looking back at the life you have had

what have you seen, held and never had

for all the things you never had

be glad

and be at peace

for what you hold within your grasp and breath

Each Raindrop

each rain drop is a microphone

a transmitter of sound and light

an acoustic coupler in the slow wave

Christopher Hansard:[ all things return]

all things return

to where they first came from

all things have an origin

and a point of being

and a state of becoming

all things return
