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?"

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.

...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.
