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
