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?"
WHAT SAVES US-
Continuance.This pulse.Blood beat
Repetition.Basic food items.
Other people.Existentialism wrong!
"Heaven is other people"O Jean Paul Sartre..
Good news.Rescue Remedy.Yoga.Tai Chi.
A friend in need.Community.
An idea landing like a bird at your window.
Stranger at your door.The Unknowing.
The Unexpected and cannot be defined.
Each daily mystery.Money.
REFRIGERATOR IN THE DESERT
Unexpected kindnesses.Plenitude.Oases.
Not so much winning a mythical Lottery
but good news from your Doctor.
Drinking Topo Chico on a warm Austin day.
Encounters with Beauty.Someone who says something
in a strange and exciting way/which enables you
to open the frig door of your life
Enter the cool confines
And fly away..
WHAT SAVES US IS THE UNKNOWN
It sustains us like a giant hand that holds us up
When worlds spin out of control
A safety zone .Sanctuary-like Churches used to be
A Meditation Space.Someone to rely upon
when a brutal world destroys Beauty so carelessly
You meet Art again(under an assumed again)
And both of us are saved.
REFRIGERATOR IN THE DESERT
Stories of Rescue and Salvation
Served up from unlikely sources-
A Council Worker ,Mail Person
Not so much the artist philosopher
More the bank clerk or your accountant
who drops a diamond in the soup
and serves you up
what you thought were only stones..
An avalanche of High Value Protein
Food For Thought!
