Rob Ayling writes: "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!!"

RE-READING COLIN WILSON
CURIOSITY CAT GOES BACK TO TRACTS OF ADOLESCENCE
Re-reading
Hesse,Fowles,Castaneda,Watts,Jung,Rilke-and Colin Wilson
Colin
asked questions-did Jesus visit Glastonbury via Cornwall?
Are
there Space Portals and Worm Holes in Time?
Which
Myths can still be corroborated in our physical landscapes?
How
much Metaphor in Dragons,Quarks,Dodos and Quasars?
Walking
with Colin's mind/reminded me of Greek Perambulation
He
like Socrates,simply asked questions.Answers may be updated -
like
BEYOND THE OUTSIDER.And he was always ready to admit new truths.
Seeing
these Strange New Worlds through his eyes and hands and ideas gave
youth
a
bravery that escaped the chains of mental slavery-being open to new
truths.
For
me,each moment is new.So when he writes of Shakespeare's syphilis,i
listen..
