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?"
PERSISTENCE OF VISION
All dreams are based on old dreams.
Most books borrow ides,feelings,scenes,themes
Even the idea"there is nothing new under the sun"
is not new.Rumi from Shams.Plato from Socrates.
Spoken vernacular/dialectic from existing/persisting class warfare
Shakespeare's ghost resurrects in one million adaptations.
Macbeth becomes "Throne of Blood".King Lear becomes "Ran"
How many books breed screenplays breed books based on movies?
Sananda never wrote.Neither did Socrates ,nor Rumi.Apocryphal stories mutate via translation.
You recognize origin stories in their prequels and sequels.Best to go back
to seek the original soundtrack.Stone,slate,pictograms,hieroglyphs.
Discover many gods,many creation myths.Pasts resurrect in presents.
Presence of mind goes back in time.Find the original.Copy it.
