Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and 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 within 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?"
WELCOME TRAGIC OPTIMISTS!
"This is no time for pessimism!Let us save that for better times"
O Wounded healers-do you not get a sense of deja vu?
Are we not now in a post-traumatic disordered state?
How can we best absorb this true suffering-
Centuries of wars tend to seek to diminish peace
Yet we harbor that tiny dove in our daily lives
and trust her wings will fly.We are small birds-
poetry,art,music-creative reagents/solutions..
Perhaps messenger pigeons.Owls of wisdom and warning.
Bird,butterfly,bee as metaphors and symbols.
They may be endangered species,yet their presence affirms life.
We may be endangering species,yet our choices (of solitariness/social distance)
allows blue skies ,clear rivers,Venetian dolphins..
The very existence of joy,hope,optimism and respect
allows more to be engendered and extended.
We are all learning now...Initiation! -Commence!
