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?"

"LIVING IS JUST THE BEGINNING" (Morris West)
NAVAJO SAY THERE ARE NOT MANY TRULY HUMAN BEINGS
They may be in human skin-but they fail to breathe /love/give deeply
Subsisting on shallowness and thin stories..We learn as we grow
Release as we go..Gain depth as we know more Mysteries unfold..
Vision Quests important.Epiphanies necessary.Revelations daily.
Lotus is love,in all its skin petal flowering.Even roses have thorns.
Pain teaches us avoidance-and Respect for suffering(others)
There is no comforting quietist philosophy.Ask Rumi/Tolle.
Perhaps we are here to learn .May take lifetimes.In one breath.

...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.
