"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 appearances 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!!"

RETURNING TO ORIGINS
there is a song you remember from childhood or before-
it
sings you when you are disconnected/disconnecting
it
affirms where you came from and where you are
as
well as where you may be heading.It is specific to each of us-
for
some-Gaelic/Celtic roots haunt dreamsinging evenings
others,native
France Edith Piaf's "Little sparrow"
Some
are of indigenous origins/know seasons in their skin
aware
of sacredness and connectedness of all living beings
May
have or seek totems through visionquests
return
to sweat lodge and pipe ceremonies
Sacred
this search.Each one faces all directions
What
you do now will find your future
Go
to cleansing sweat or smoke of shared pipe
What
is most sacred is the search-to find who you are
from
where you have been-and which direction
will
find your future ..ready..waiting
returning
you to origins..
