Christopher Hansard:[ wisdom waits]

wisdom waits

while impatience hammers at the unlocked door

compassion isĀ  seemingly passive

while cruelty gains all the headlines

negative actions, thoughts and beliefs

are portrayed as glamourous

wisdom waits

your whole lifetime

to be welcomed in

wisdom is not about happiness

but about knowing,

what is and accepting that

without interpretation or motive

wisdom waits

it has no opinion

only itself

Christopher Hansard:[ Everyone]

Everyone

breathes the same air

drinks the same water

we all take on the substances

of other human beings

through the elements

that enable us to live

thinking that we are separate

everyone can be found in one person

and each of us can be everyman

woman and child

Christopher Hansard:[ Give Up]

Give up

what you know

so you can discover

who you are

Give up who you are

so you can learn

how to

Be

Give up how to be

so that you can

give up

all the things you cling too

the path of becoming

is the first way

the experience of being

is just a rest point along the way

Give Up

Christopher Hansard:[ light path]

the truest path is seldom straight

the clearest light is seen in the greatest darkness

Christopher Hansard:[ Change Is Not What You Think It Is

Change is not what you think it is

those who call for the end of days

or the increasing unrest to be quelled

should pause

listening to the human swell

that murmurs quietly in the flux

people want to know how to be comforted ,educated and empowered

through the window of their own wisdom

change is not what you think it is

the Earth has its own way

as does the systems of Nature

if we started to address the pollutions within us all

the the world, the earth, the natural pulse would

rush out to join us

change is not what you think it is

we are blind to our own history

for history is an eye that sees unblinkingly

and has a voice that never stops chanting its refrain

while The World, the Earth and the Natural Systems

will follow their own paths of change

change is not what you think it is

Christopher Hansard:[ the delight of becoming human]

The delight of becoming human

starts when you allow love

to enter you heart even if for a short time

it does not matter as to the nature of the love

for in that you have known the miraculous

for miracles are part of becoming human

as is delight

in the story of your life

Christopher Hansard:[ beauty]

Beauty

is everywhere

dwelling in all things

it has a quiet voice

an uplifting presence

and

originates

from inherent grace in life

Christopher Hansard:[ a timely response]

There are people

who by means of defamation on the internet

and by stalking me and those close to me

have sought to defame me

ruin me and my reputation

I have waited for the appropriate time

and by doing so have found people skilful in their

profession and associations

with others who have

by their wide range of connections

have identified every single person

who has sought to defame me

by hiding under false names,

pseudonyms or aliases

their place of work,

\home address

and associated status

I haveĀ  all the time I need

to create prosecution whereas these people do not

having placed themselves in the role of enemy

I offer them forgiveness

but in their complete fabrication of lies

in order to cover their own emotional pain

and cover me with it

I have stated

‘enough is enough’

and so quietly

like a lark in the mist

I shall respond accordingly

Christopher Hansard:[ Grief]

When you find

that Grief has come

to visit you

welcome Grief in like a long lost friend

and care for it

When Tragedy comes

and you are not sure as to what to do

keep it waiting at your door

until you know that it is right

for it to enter

know for sure that the Grief is yours

and that Tragedy has not been hoisted upon you

the troubles of Life

are often a mutiny of others’ bruised strife

people love to share their misery and not own it

thinking that they can avoid it in this way

do not be afraid of fear

for fear seeks only to be understood

and once known departs on its way

never to return
