"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

FOLLOWING ON FROM YESTERDAY
Dear Uncle Jon,Helen and 3 children -and Travis..
Ezra Pound reminded us
"all that we love sustains us-only love stays"
Your loving response reminds me of unconditionality-
how the embrace of companions extends and affirms all of us-
our pets,our gardens are only ours to teach us more-
what is precious is capacity to love
grief a bare skeleton of loss-
the learning is always loving more
to add to,replenish,affirm,extend,nurture-
to love and build love both brave and necessary
as each bright spirit leaves,their lesson stays-
to know there is love in this world
helps us all to remain!
Travis did well in finding such a haven of happiness!
best to all from Thom of Texas
