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?"
"OLD HABITS ARE HARD TO BREAK"
(Split Enz)
And when you wake,and have a ritual-
Wash/bathe,change-step into the handcuffs
of all that you have done before.But the sky is new
Stars configurations altered.Moon in cycles.Seasons ,too
Yet you wish to repeat.Repeat all you do?
This retreat is a doorway to deeper silences.
A meditation Tai Chi session.What you valued before-
continuity,consistency..no longer works.
Disruption-emotionally,economically,ecologically
throws scattershot changes into the soup or each day.
You spit out bullets and imagine Lotus blossoms.
You smile more ,as you begin to notice-
You are fully present.You can change in this moment
And the next.And all the moments of your breathing breaths..
