"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?"
WEAVING TOGETHER
A carpet that heals,and flies
and is fully bio-degradable.Co-operation /harmony
as ways of being solution-focused rather than disaster driven..
Healing BEFORE it happens.Working with the wise,playing with the fools.
Musicians band together,like tribes of fellow travelers.This model works-
those with a common vision and common purpose tend to achieve results.
"Catalyzing Community Transformation" is simply weaving threads together
of those who walk the same path in different ways.WAY past politics-think CULTURE!
How icons of sculptures ,art and community murals sharpen consciousness
How community radio ,newspapers and TV sustain a positive ongoing communal conversation
How replacing Groupthink with Treasure Mapping and Goal Setting encourages the taking of risk/initiatives.
Funding is fickle-best to initiate with the resources one already has-even nothing is something...
Volunteers add sweat equity.Supporters and donors need to see work in progress.
BELONGING reinforces equality.Not as a cliche -more an action plan.BEGIN-AGAIN!
