Where is Gotha?

Not mentioning the town in Germany, with its lovely old church and left-over Zeppelin port.
The Goths don't live on earth. They used to, but they got squeezed off by greedy people: the Romans, Attila the Hun. So they went elsewhere. It's close, though.
Sometimes, when they've been very active, people notice. And they think they know where the Goths live. They call these places special.
Boeotia, Abdera, Nazareth, Gotham: the homes of holy fools.
Abdera has the nicest beach I know of.
If you really want to meet one, try this: just after sunset, make yourself comfortable. Get into a relaxed state. Stare meaningfully into a glass of water. Unfocus your eyes, and clear your mind.
And listen.
Don't expect portentious wisdom. But if you find that you've fallen into a light trance, and then come to with a start, and unexpectedly find yourself laughing, you have made contact.
The Goth touch can be light, or heavy. It can last a moment, or a lifetime. Depends on what you want.
Just past the rainbow.
