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?"

CONVERSATION AS THERAPY
Volunteerism as therapy
Adding sweat equity to community as therapy
Friendship and positive relationships as therapy
Pets(cats,dogs,horses,rats,snakes )as therapy
Secure housing as therapy.Secure food sourcing.
Efficient transport as therapy.Stable associations.
Positive outlook as therapy.Access to resources.
Knowing one's neighbors.Liking one's associates.
A sense of personal well-being.Altruism.
Brightening one's own life by adding to others.
Writing,dancing,painting,drawing-generally-creating
extends one's personal horizons(and perspectives)
Travel always helps.Returning with stories to share.
Being in rainforests or by water.Walking on beaches.
Good weather improves our moods.S.A.D so unnecessary
Birdsongs are therapy.Nature sounds.Gardens improve us.
Just to live in the egg of the moment,snug,secure,beloved and loving
With all these-who needs therapies?

...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.
