THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

 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?"

SATURDAY JULY 25,2020
IT HAD BEEN A FOUR ZOOM DAY
So poetry music stories and joy filled all the virtual
On the streets of Austin,a Black Lives Matter demonstration
Near the corner of Sixth and Congress,five shots rang out
One soul taken,others running away,filming
Portlandia was supposed to be the front line-
with Grandmother Wisdom and Naked Athena
against the military police state apparatus
But now peace was shot on the streets of Austin
and all our poems and prayers and peaceful petitions
were cast aside ,as violence does not listen.
DEFUND THE APD is still the call
but now it is to be seen if APD can catch these killers
or if we need a PEACE FORCE,not a police force
to make sure that Freedom of Assembly is never Brownshirted down
by those whose only speech is the barking gun-
when poetry can only Zoom in,after the event
to soothe and heal and anneal the damaged
in trust that peaceful poetical example might solve/salve our village future...

PEACE PLEASE
WE CANNOT AFFORD WAR
It boosts up the healing budget
 damaged soldiers will  need V.A ,doctors,psychologists
often for the rest of their lives
We can not afford weapons
They get old too easily,displaced
by new methods of killing ourselves
which always compounds the dilemma
Why buy what you do not use
and cannot afford to use?(F35)
Why not a Marshall Plan for America?
Structural change for real structures-
Bridges,roads,country hospitals
Then Universal Health Care-resourcing healing
so no more damage is done to us or THEM
(whoever THEY might be-children in cages,refugees,
our own Native Americans,Indigenous,our color codes-
black,brown,yellow,Green,Rainbow-all need renovating..
So much can be healed with the focus on loving...

RELEASE
YOU CAN NOT GO BACK
so BACK comes back to you-
Memories,photographs,footprints-they collect you
Steal your time and direct your energies-
"So you want the world to be THE WAY IT WAS..?
(But it cannot be-it,too,has gone/moved on-
leaving little vibrations /auric resonances
So you can say"I WAS THERE"-like historical plaques.
but the building is FOR SALE and you feel VACANT
For even if you invoke MEMORY as NOSTALGIA
Truth rushes in like a reporter ,saying "IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT!
And who are you to dispute truth?When all you have -is recollections &remembrances

EVERY MORNING IS THE FIRST PAGE 
IN THE BOOK OF YOUR LIFE
YOU WAKE,&TAKE INTENTION TO ANTHER LEVEL
This gift of time and energy both a Gift and Blessing
Everything up to now a Seed of Dreaming
Now you Begin Again the Process of Awakening
First-to stop,and breathe,affirm intention and connection
Next-to bring your Future into This Present Moment
Form and frame the way you want this day to flow
To move with Gratitude beyond what you Feel and Know
For you are "skating on the thin ice of a New Day"
No matter your Destination-here is your Chance to Play!
You can move to music of your own Inner Choice
Or Chant,or Sing,or find a way to use your voice!
Rest in each Moment,and watch it change
You rejoice with gratitude-this Gift of One Fresh New Day!

Morning rituals are a great way to keep focus on intentional living and desire to experience. You can create daily rituals around whatever you feel drawn to and feels right in your heart. So here are some you can mix and match:

  1. Connect to the Source. Deliberately make an intention upon waking up that you want to connect with the pure Source energy, and open the portal between you and the Source, allowing energy, wisdom, and guidance to flow into you. Trust that you are heard and guided at all times.
  2. Ground yourself. It’s important to live in both the spiritual and intellectual worlds, so balance is the key. Ground yourself by visualizing a string of golden light descending from above, through your mid-line, and into the ground. As an alternative, you can also hug a tree or walk barefoot on the grass.
  3. Set general intentions. Each morning I set my intentions upon waking up after connecting with the Source. I say, “Today is a beautiful day, and it is my dominant intent to feel good all day long. I want to see which is that I want to see. I want to be a blessing to the world. I want to be guided all day long and listen to solutions and opportunities which are for my highest good and for the highest good for all. My newest intention is to live in peace, beauty, harmony, abundance, and creativity, being a full expression of the Pure Source Energy.”
  4. Burn incense or Sage. This can enhance your environment, and help you cleanse it, to invite positive energy and focus.
  5. Infuse spiritual light. Select the type of light you would like to infuse throughout your body for protection, enlightenment, manifestation, change, or personal growth. There are various books on the types of energies and aura colors.
  6. Gratitude. Start your day with a gratitude journal, writing 7 to 11 statements about why you are grateful for a specific experience, relationship, or material object. It helps you release resistance. You also open the door to invite more abundance into your life.
  7. Meditate. You can meditate right after you wake up by either tuning inwards, or using a guided meditation piece. It will help you start your day by thinking fewer things, uncluttering the chatter, and getting clarity on what is important today. According to Buddha, “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
  8. Use affirmations. Most people prefer to use affirmations in later in the day, however, there is apparently a far greater benefit from using them in the morning. The main reason is that if you use your affirmations in the morning, you are effectively setting your day up by starting out in a positive frame of mind. Plus, saying powerful affirmations when you wake up can help you shake off any negativity from your dreams or block your brain from filling up with any problems or difficulties you may be facing. I like to say and write my affirmations in the morning while I am writing in my journal my thoughts and goals.
  9. Do Yoga, or another slow spiritually strengthening exercise. There many benefits to keeping up one of these practices for the strengthening of your focus and spiritual growth. You can do tai chi or gi gong as an alternative to yoga too.
  10. Journal and ask questions. Write down questions that open the way to receive guidance, wisdom, and opportunities. I love writing in my journal all that comes to my mind about Source, and what is important to me right now, and how I want to feel.
  11. Listen to healing frequencies or Reiki music. I love this practice and do it regularly now. I play them while I am writing, or just working on a project. It keeps me in a place of feeling relaxed and releases resistance.
  12. Dance to inspiring music. Dancing is fun and can totally have you feeling good. So if you are being drawn to this ritual then do it. It will help you with creativity, and confidence.

There are more rituals, but this list is pretty much a must for me. I think in order to connect to our highest version and all that is, this list is it. Go forth and create your own list and refine as needed, so it serves you and that you can manifest the greatest blissful life experiences.

MARTIN SPRINGETT - News From The Potting Shed - The Parade of Possibilities - V12



Here is the twelfth of Martin Springett's ideas for artwork for the next album, 'Strange Kingdom'.

Martin says:

"
What she is pointing at looks uncomfortably like Coronavirus, but is in fact, a seed like being called a Cobble Spot. Another escapee image from The Gardening Club graphic novel, this is a distant relative of Lady Emily Stirling (guardian of singing plants) who resides conveniently in another dimension. Cobble Spots are air borne seeds, who choose a host to alight on, then grow into a plant that will resemble the host in various intriguing ways. In our dimension this is rather like dog owners who resemble their dogs, in looks or temperament. (Does anyone resemble their cats?) The Spots don't need a garden, just a musical host who can sing to them three times a day, preferably a mixed diet of classical, popular and avant-garde. These are high expectations indeed, and yet, many a host who until the time the spot appeared, had been tone deaf, became endowed with extraordinary musical powers. This is one of the wonders of the, you know, Universe. See - Cobble Spots - Homunculus Or Philanthropist? by James Grabknee, U Of Pee Culiar Press, 1969. Also - I Was A Talentless Rube Until I Was Spotted, by Cynthia Staghorn, Neat Heap Publishers, 1907."

MORE MORTUARY TRUCKS IN TEXAS
Wow! more mortuary trucks!
I feel God/Source/Origin is really trying to awaken us to our divine nature - our true self - and the preciousness of our lives as human beings. I am reflecting a lot on this and the relationship we have with nature. I came across an amazing book (Sacred Economics) that I have just started to read (slowly). It is free here https://sacred-economics.com/read-online/ In the introduction he says "Sacred Economics describes this future and also maps out a practical way to get there. Long ago I grew tired of reading books that criticized some aspect of our society without offering a positive alternative. Then I grew tired of books that offered a positive alternative that seemed impossible to reach: “We must reduce carbon emissions by 90 percent.” Then I grew tired of books that offered a plausible means of reaching it but did not describe what I, personally, could do to create it. Sacred Economics operates on all four levels: it offers a fundamental analysis of what has gone wrong with money; it describes a more beautiful world based on a different kind of money and economy; it explains the collective actions necessary to create that world and the means by which these actions can come about; and it explores the personal dimensions of the world-transformation, the change in identity and being that I call “living in the gift.”'

SOMEONE,SOMEWHERE,IS APPLYING PERMACULTURE
More are volunteers,in co-operatives,practicing a Gift Economy
In India,2 million trees were planted by many thousands of people
Around coastlines,litter,trash and pollution are cleaned and compacted
One teardrop in a desert?Every seed has resonance and effects!
Every action shines with consequence.All Magic is reversible...
It may take aeons,or a momentary epiphany.Rip Van Winkle awakens in a Greener World
Tiny ant architecture in deserts.Rivers of tears return to Palestinians.
Olive trees.Fruit trees for homeless.Abundance over scarcity.Commons open to all.
Down with fences and walls-up with open Borders.Return wolf to wilderness/bison to prairie.
Extend National Parks and Wilderness Areas.For all two and four-footed-
all furred,feathered,flying/all that is still living to become fully ALIVE!
You already live like this-Generous.There is no need to preach.

MARTIN SPRINGETT - News From The Potting Shed - The Parade of Possibilities - V11



Here is the eleventh of Martin Springett's ideas for artwork for the next album, 'Strange Kingdom'.

Martin says:

"The Saxopode Tree bears fruit only once a year for a day. The 'Podes drop off the tree and rot the day after. It takes a master Saxopode player to find just the right 'fruit' that responds and brings forth the deep fruity sound that Saxopodes are known for. The player must be athletically nimble as well, as there is a great deal of climbing and leaping to be done. Once the instrument has been found to be playable, it can be used for approximately a year, then the P M ('Pode Master) seeks another tree that he hopes will yield another harvest of playable 'Podes."

YOU MAY WANT TO BE NEAR WATER
But pools are closed/social distancing on beaches
You may desire to be by mountains'
But strip mining and fracking ruin the view
You may want to be alone and solitary
But your phone.That computer..They conspire
You may desire deserts or wilderness
But your desiring brings roads and new plastic villages
You may seek to be in good company'
But they are all busy seeking environmental efficacies
You may wish the world to be as fresh as your dreams
But facts cut fresh into plastic replicas /and originals disappear
You may desire anything in this world
but someone has already been there,photographed,bought the T-shirt
and wants to put a FESTIVAL OF NATURE on this perfect pristine spot.

Here is the tenth of Martin Springett's ideas for artwork for the next album, 'Strange Kingdom'.

Martin says:

"After my heart operation I was in a strange place, I was massively apprehensive of my physical state. Having had my chest cracked open I was convinced in the first few weeks after the procedure, that I was going to fly apart at the seams, a rather alarming image. So my instinct was to immediately start building new things, to return to the Garden, not of innocence but of experience. The Gnarly Garden. A Strange Kingdom"

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
