to be eaten

Christopher Hansard:[ thanks for the ugly]
Can you give thanks
for the ugly side of your personality?
For the ugly things of life?
Can you look into the face of a person deemed
ugly by society
and see the perfect and complete being
within that man or woman or child?
an ugly appearance is not an indication of who the person is
Give thanks for the ugly
so that through that which is ugly
you can have a more perfect vision

Christopher Hansard:[ game]
life is only a game
if you are bound
by rules
life is only a game
if you only
know how
to play
life is not a game nor has rules
to which to be bound fast by
life is a game
when you give up the rules
knowing that you
are the prize
the highest
score

Christopher Hansard:[ answers]
answers
dwell
within
you
to questions that
you have not yet
imagined
by imagining
so you create
the foundations for
intention
and intention
is the blueprint
for action

Christopher Hansard:[ on the wave]
the
hidden
swell
is
coming
the wave is
rising
the curl of the foam is starting to
break
the calm
when you first feel the movement
make sure
you can ride
on the
wave
until
you land
upon the dry and stable
foundation
that may at first
appear to be
perilous

Christopher Hansard[ Omega,6,9]
On Vancouver Island
Mothers and daughters
are walking
because they
heard
the Salmon talking
they are at risk
of not
swimming to and fro
of feeding and be fed
of breeding
of teaching bears
how to fish
everyone knows
that Salmon is full of good things
Omega 6,9 and is
good in sushi
the salmon are marching
through mother’s and daughters
to tell the world
their story
Salmon are not just food
they are a way of life
a pulse in how life is
they carry all the oceans
of the world
upon their backs
wild salmon
want to be heard
in the overcrowded mind
of the human world

Christopher Hansard:[ still]
there is
a
still
place
within you
which calls to all your troubles
and inĀ that wisdom
finds the answers
for in times of trouble
stop
look into the stillness
and be made whole again

Christopher Hansard:[ the raindrop]
does the raindrop
return from whence it came?
from sea, or lake, stream or breath?
from puddle, sewer, steam?
all of this
is moisture
in your breath
every raindrop
water in your body
swishing
in the twilight ponds
where your soul bathes
before being discovered,
naked
by the winds of change and becoming
the raindrop is all of us
falling, evaporating
becoming rain again

Christopher Hansard:[ A Volcano for Our Times]
Dust
stops planes
from flying
ash, glass and rocky fibres
adorn the air
nature’s masters
are reduced to ground crawling
people complain and moan about missed flights
maybe better to consider
what the volcano
from
Iceland
is saying
a meteor
surprised
the observers
across
north western skies
Iceland
has a new take on the
credit crunch
the world needs to stop
and listen
to the first
haltering sentence
that Nature
is about
to
utter

Christopher Hansard:[ blessed are]
when others say that some people are more blessed
than others
that is not true
all are equally blessed
but may have not yet discovered that is so
all of us on this planet
are blessed
even in the most direst of circumstance
Light extends its hand
it’s touch bestows Grace
which creates Mercy and Contentment
all of which dwell
within us
blessed are the human race
for they shall inherit
themselves
but don’t forget to laugh
or ignore the wisdom of knowing how to be
silly and know the spirit of humour
in the times when others would
be crushed by circumstance
for that time
which is coming soon
a little silliness
will go a long way
and humour will remind us of our humanity
for those of you who believe in God
know that God loves to laugh
divine humour is everywhere
for those of you who do not believe in God
know that humour dwells in Life
and Life likes a laugh
not at your expense
but at the rapture of its own delight
blessed are those that laugh
for they will always
know life
