Christopher Hansard:[Today]

Today is the mystery

that most people can not

comprehend

the past was the future once

when dreaming would never end

the past can offer up great lessons

but only to those who see and know

and then have the courage to understand

the future does not come at all

but eventuates as a bend

a curve of perception

and neural light

for our brains

are caught in the

great gap of processing

and what we think

of now and the future

has already gone

it is the past

but camouflaged

as future and as now

what is the future?

it is the impulse of a dream

mixed with hope and inspiration

it is a means by which we can live

in accordance with our highest aims

whatever they may be

the ‘future’

is the soul’s training ground

the ‘now’

a testing point for the psyche

in all its battered forms

so we only have the past

to remind us of what was and why it was

and we can be reborn in the psyche

and regenerate in the soul

for the psyche is now

the soul is future

the soul is made

from the psyche’s lessons

and the body’s long and patient wisdom

daily, momentary and eternal

Today

is the mystery

that we must all

learn to comprenhend

and by that

give birth

all of us,

to a new world
