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?"

"CALIBRATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS"
Instead of projecting a future "Perfect Paradise"
Find peace in every moment, every second, every original experience
Embrace the freshness of the unexpected,
when events change upon the flip of a coin.
Flow with the Glow of Light, the Spark of Water,
Strength of Earth, Power of Fire. Be Elemental in this-
Mutable as Circumstance. Water knows enough to flow-follow water.
Air changes composition upon altitude and depth-learn air!
Earth accepts all of us, broken, buried, embedded. Accept this-
and in your adaptations, feel the freedom of alignment with all elements
from which you came, and to which you will return
after you have forgotten all your starry origins...

...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.
