Christopher Hansard:[When the Sunlight Falls]
When the sunlight falls upon the waves
carefree and glancing as they lap around the
last remains of a sky scraping tower
the young child from the little boat looks up with wondering eyes
‘who made these things?’ his mother catches his thoughts..
‘men who were like gods, men who fell to the earth and could not get up again’
the child wonders,sad thoughts
trawling a memory of what was once
another world, fingers trailing in water
as fish swirl around the little boat
as by thought it moves silently
across the great saltwater lake
deep in the refracted depths
white whales harvest the plankton
while a serrated moon
hangs tilted in the blue starred night
years pass the child now a man
goes past in a little boat
and his daughter wonders the very same as he once did
a hundred years go past
people pass by they do not see the ruins
they do not know what they are
the ruins
they have slipped
from memory and so they do not exist

Christopher Hansard:[Anger]
The world is full of it…
of anger,
anger is the rage and shame of having no power
anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry
but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to
go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love
anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose
its way to healing
look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life
and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,
anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind
anger seeks its own destruction and understanding
it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear

Christopher Hansard:[Love is Within Us]
ONE:
Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall
Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye
Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,
Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the oncoming fear
Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real
Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark
Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.
TWO:
Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form
and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt
upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion
and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order
to evolve back to its own recognition again.
THREE:
The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course,
a river that flows through time and space
creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place,
perception and awakening and the nature of living light
Love has made the chance for Life
when it embraced itself openly with Light,
for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:
for in Light, Consciousness takes form
shrouding Love’s constant breath
and in that come the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death
two great teachings of Love and Light
by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form

Christopher Hansard:[Imagination and the Impulse of Change]
What is your imagination?
Some think its the run of fantasy,
or a vague emotional experience of little consequence.
Imagination is the fusing of intent and vision that awakens the impulse
behind the function of change.
This creates change in ourselves, the world at large
and in the human experience globally.
Imagination is the building block of awakening, it shows us possibilities and probabilities, it inspires us on how to think and how to be .
Imagination gives us courage and urges us to love.
Imagination is the great risk taker
because it take you beyond all of your previous limitations.
If there was one answer containing wisdom that any wise person
or teacher could give to a person seeking truth
and asking, ‘what is the purpose of life?’ …
It would be, ‘Imagine and it will be…’
The world in which we all live is built upon Imagination.
Think deeply and you will find it to be so.
This realisation makes many afraid of Imagination
because then they are forced to step outside of the box in which their lives are kept.
Step out of your box, fold it up, recycle it and becomeĀ an Imagineer,
a term I use to describe a person who applies Imagination to change the
quality of their life and the world around them.
It is a self -taught experience, trust the imagination within to guide you.
