Christopher Hansard:[ connections]
connections
what and who
are you
connected to?
by knowing this
you will decrease
your levels of unhappiness
and increase your emotional well-being
and enhance your spirituality-
what ever you conceive that to be
you can be connected
to thoughts, past,present and future
to people and events
imagined occurences
and rememberings
past,present and future
who and what
are you
connected to?

Christopher Hansard:[ stillness]
If you want to know how to be still
first drop all enquiries
give up the search for meaning
let go of the clamour within and without
establish a life that portrays who you truly are
then let it be
and stillness
emerges
from within the greater inner knowing
that dwells with you

Christopher Hansard:[ a handful of sand]
throw
a
handful of sand into the wind
watch how it moves and falls
there is your life
there is all life
it’s the nature of things

Christopher Hansard:[ the nature of your words]
the words you speak
are the seeds of your actions
whether they be thoughts or deeds
the nature of your words
determine the nature of your world
if you wish to rapidly free yourself from unhappiness or suffering
be aware of the nature of your words,
the how and why of why and how you speak them
and if they are
a creation of unhappy and self-limiting thoughts
the world, the earth is but the nature of our words

Christopher Hansard:[ the path]
there is only one path
and that is the path
that you walk
whether it be knowingly or not
you are on your way
to know
who you truly are
alll your answers are contained in your first step
can you remember
the very first step you took
when within you
you had a knowingness that life was up to you
if you have had then
that was your first illumination
which can not be cast away
no matter how you may walk the path
i have walked the paths
have heard pathmakers tell their stories
i follow a different path
the unmade path
you can not see in front of your next step
it is there for each of us
alive, twitching

Christopher Hansard:[ the Fisherman]
the fisherman casts his line
hook descending into another world
where life is snared, whole worlds
are dragged towards the light
the fisherman casts his line
and a life is made or ends
cast into drops of becoming
and endless ends
watch and see how the line is cast
making no shadow across the water
that is your mind
like darkened glass from a smoky life
for each of us are but a vapour in the light
some brief plume
the line is cast
reeling in
no hurry or need
in its own time
the hook will bite
the fisherman casts his line into another world
and draws us all towards the light
the fishing line entwines itself
through every age and day, through ideas, beliefs and prejudice
never snags, for it reels itself along the hooped line
to return to a still collected reel
waiting for the next cast
as time washes in and out
