Christopher Hansard:[ Presence in all things]
no matter
where you are
no matter where you think you are
no matter what you believe yourself to believe
in matter
in thought
which is matter
there is
presence
in
all things
the ever knowing
You

Christopher Hansard:[ look]
Look
at the patterns
in the rain
the cycles of each leaf as they twist
together in the wind
the curl of the wave
the scudding of clouds
look
at the patterns of your thoughts
the beating of your heart
the rise and fall of blood
in arterial splendour
look
and
you will
see

Christopher Hansard:[ do not seek after]
do not rush after happiness
or toil after safety from the fragility of life
do not seek wisdom for its own sake
or
ride the currents of the trend
do not seek the moment or live in the now
for the ‘now’ has passed you by
before you were aware of it
give up this illusion
and be present
in the presence
of your own
knowing
life brings meaning
to those that are with life
not caught up in
the marketplace
where delightful for a time
soon fades

Christopher Hansard:[ the times of change and rememberance]
The times of change and rememberance
are coming now, too soon, for some
and charm and policies of government
will not allay their calls,
voices full of shrieking winds and harpy media sirens
rushing to announce doom and gloom and the end of domestic consumerism
whether by sea or land or broken promises
the land will shift by ten degrees
and what was desert will desirable sea front property
and oceans wills cover the agricultural past
electronics and communication will be reduced to what they are
and time will have dominion over the working day once more
sunset and sunrise will be understood for what they are
seasons will return as will equinoxial wisdom
and community and living
will be dependent upon the individual

Christopher Hansard:[ in dreams]
In dreams
you can see
all the time
that stitches your life
unravel and by that cast a new design
if you catch your dreams on the inward breath
between waking and sleeping
and with a long breath out
you can stitch your life again
sewn by breath dreams and intention
for you are eternal magic in
a mortal urn
living,dying
in dreams.in life
in turning
to return
between the
two
in dreams
you can find
a door
to the place of non-dreaming
of not sleeping
of being and becoming
awake

Christopher Hansard:[ the question]
people seek
the answer
without
knowing
the question
people ask the question
without the capacity to listen
humankind is addicted to language
words are the greatest drug
in order to listen
to hear
to ask and to receive
let the addiction to words within you
fall away
and then you will know
both the question and the answer

Christopher Hansard:[ the path of gentleness]
the path of gentleness
takes courage
and to know
the afflictions of anger
in the lives of those around you
and in your Self
gentleness is not weakness
often gentlness can be a great force
which smashes negativity
with love and wisdom
gentleness makes those who have the courage to be gentle
strong, powerful
knowing the dynamics of balance and thought

Christopher Hansard:[ the world, the earth]
the world,the earth
two planets
one of nature
one of man
two worlds in collision
soon we will need to choose
in which world
we shall live
look into your senses
and follow them to their end
and there you will find your place
the world is a hunger
so is the earth
the world is glamour
the earth is love
make your choice
know your peace

Christopher Hansard:[ When gathering]
when gathering
those parts of your life
that you know no longer work
love them all, each and every one
and give thanks for death, birth, rebirth
and change,
for all that is and comes to you
in your life
is your own signature writ large on the universe’s wide void
for all creation, which is consciousness in search of itself,
seeks company and communion with each of us
who dare to give up all that is fading
so that we may become ourselves
a signature of humaness and love
