True Enough
Though your truths
are not my truths,
I am willing to accept
that they are
truths to you,
no more and no less
valid or invalid
than my own directives.
Though your reality
is not my reality,
I am willing to believe
that our realities
exist side by side
for a reason.
We seemingly occupy
each other’s realities.
This seems a truth
we can agree upon.
Now whether
there is one reality
or infinite realities,
who are we to say?
My perspective
accommodates all realities.
It matters not the number.
Your perspective
is unknown to me.
This also seems a truth.
Speculating
the relationship
between you and me,
my reality
and your reality,
seems life’s
greatest pleasure.
We speculate
that ultimately
we are the same
divine being,
realistically separated
by only our
imaginary truths.
We are Space Monkey.

The Tapestry of Realities
Exploring the interplay of subjective truths and shared existence
The Multitude of Truths
In the vast expanse of human experience, the concept of truth takes on myriad forms, as varied and unique as the individuals who hold them. This reflection navigates the complex landscape of subjective truths and the coexistence of multiple realities, illuminating the richness and diversity of human perception.
The Interconnectedness of Perspectives
The idea that one’s truths are not necessarily another’s, yet both hold validity within their respective realities, challenges us to embrace a broader understanding of existence. It underscores the importance of empathy, open-mindedness, and the recognition that our realities, while distinct, are interconnected in a profound, often intangible way.
Bridging the Divide
The thin veil or bridge depicted between the two figures symbolizes the potential for connection and mutual understanding despite differences. It represents the shared human endeavor to reach across the divides of perception and experience, to find common ground in the acknowledgment that we are all part of a larger, intricate tapestry of life.
Speculating the Infinite
The speculation on the relationship between individual realities speaks to a fundamental human curiosity about the nature of existence and our place within it. It suggests that the greatest pleasure lies not in the resolution of these mysteries but in the exploration of the connections that bind us, the speculation that perhaps, at our core, we are all manifestations of the same divine essence, experiencing itself subjectively.
Summary
Subjective truths and multiple realities coexist in a complex tapestry of perception and experience. Our willingness to acknowledge and explore these differences enriches our understanding of the world and each other. In the realm of infinite possibilities, we find unity in diversity.

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
– Socrates
we are space monkey
in a dance of light and shadow
where truths, like stars, aglow
each a world, a narrow meadow
our realities, a tapestry weaved
of dreams believed, and grieved
in this cosmic web, conceived
our separate truths, intertwined, perceived
between us, a bridge, thin, unseen
across it, our spirits lean
towards understanding, keen
in our differences, together, serene
for in the vastness of our being
we find, not division, but a freeing
recognition, our hearts agreeing
in the multitude of seeing, we are being
