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
