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?"

HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS OF HAPPINESS

BEGIN WITH CONTENTMENT

To be at ease with who you are and where you are

Emotionally stable,continuously engaged

with your peer group,work fellows ,friends and family.

.If you are unstable,dispossessed,out of balance-

find modes and strategies to restore your joy..

There are some events out of our control-

death and pain and persecution.What is in our hands

is what we do -with and for each other.Start with yourself-

be kind to yourself at all times.Be gentle with your wishes,

so that they become as true as breathing.Happiness might run

like a Donovan song ,but it belongs to you.Always was,always is..

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HAPPY AT ALL TIMES!

Tithe your life towards your highest purpose-

and is that not always the joy you share

just by being here.Now..YES!
