Christopher Hansard:[ becoming]
Do not try to be
allow yourself
to become
all that is within you
becoming is the path of growth
being ,
the start and the end
the path of becoming
is the path of allowing
in which dwells all good things

Christopher Hansard:[ taking time]
take time
and stretch out
with your breath and mind,
a minute, an hour
a lifetime, a day
see it stretch and warft and weave
from here to there, from belief to unbelief
the time you hold is fluid, active
reactive, a mold into which thought
pours itself to be
felt in the world
taking time
and weaving it
and opening up your mind
time is the substance and the tool
for you to become
a man, woman or child of your time
make it so according to your thought
your will will then ignite
the field of time
and life will become alight

Christopher Hansard:[ we are all equal]
We are all equal
in the unequal world
those above and those below
squeeze those in the middle
yet wisdom equally runs
like a unearthed current
through our
veins making
the connections
to the past and future
through the mesh of now
brilliance and awakening
spark in your bones
the voices of truth
in your
tongue and heart

Christopher Hansard:[ You]
You
are
what
you
think
if you become attached to the illusory nature
and the identities of thought
You
are what
you feel
if you
cling to the feeling
for feelings are like a hot or cold wind
that shapes and forms
the person who clings
to the feeling that is strong most in experience
thinking and feeling
are essential to our human nature
and should be celebrated
but the question must be asked
Do you truly know what you think or feel?
The answer lies beyond both thinking and feeling
beyond name and naming
beyond giving or receiving
in the you
that is life,
unfettered and true

Christopher Hansard:[ the light within light]
there is
light
within light
and sound within sound
time within time
all of your years in a moment
there is a template of a soul
within your body and mind
the light within light
a sheath of mind and matter
seeking its way
towards
consciousness
waiting to be made

Christopher Hansard:[ anger]
can you talk
of your anger ?
of how you run from it
try to hide it
to celebrate it
to draw power from it
only love for others
and self love heals anger
anger
is the unskilful face of wisdom
and the face of wisdom
shines
perennially
within you

Christopher Hansard:[ the politics of change]
the politics of change
are not that of comfort or accrual
but ones of self -examination
and the walk through your own fear
for the politics of change
are not made by politicians
but by ordinary people
who discover
that they together and as an individual
are the big picture
the viewer, the picture frame
and the artist too

Christopher Hansard:[ mystery]
You
are the mystery
that
you seek
the meaning
and the intimacy
and you
are the
power, the passion
and the over ripe fruit
the bee at the blossom
the oil on the sea
you are the ever moving mystery
you are the journey
and the starting point
the destination
and the guide
you are
the passing whale
and the passing fly
you are the crowd and the single human
you are all sentient beings
you are the mystery
the universe’s chuckle
ant the joke made by itself
but laughs even though it does not understand
that you
are the mystery

Christopher Hansard:[ the harvest]
when will the harvest come?
when will the harvest come?
when will the seeds fall to the ground and grow?
when will the storm winds blow/when?when?
when will the dust bowls turn to fruit bowls?
and oil stopped being drilled ?
when will the storm winds blow?
the harvest is been sown and reaped
the gathering and the making
is now
look to your harvest
to know the answers
for soon
everyone will have a question
