There Will Be Days

There Will Be Days

There will be days when you feel abundant. There will be days when you feel completely dry, like you are sucking up the mud from the pit of your lifeless existence. Know that this is normal; that even fields of infinite energy must lie fallow for a time. Trust that you will sprout and bloom still brighter than before, that you will reach still higher than before, and that these cycles are as certain as the Divine Creator you are and will always be.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Cycles of Abundance and Dryness

Life, in all its complexity, is a series of cycles—moments of abundance followed by periods of dryness, each playing a crucial role in the grand tapestry of existence. These cycles are as natural and necessary as the changing seasons, each bringing its own unique challenges and gifts. To fully embrace life, we must learn to accept and trust these cycles, knowing that they are part of the greater rhythm of the universe, a rhythm that is inextricably tied to our own growth and evolution.

The Fallow Periods

There will be days when you feel as if you are at the peak of your potential, overflowing with energy, creativity, and joy. These are the days of abundance, where everything seems to fall into place, and life feels effortless and rewarding. But there will also be days when you feel drained, as if all the energy and life has been sucked out of you. These are the days when you feel like you are merely surviving, scraping the bottom of your reserves just to get through the day.

It’s easy to embrace the days of abundance, to revel in the flow of energy and the sense of accomplishment that comes with them. But the fallow periods, those times when you feel completely dry, are just as important. They are the moments when your soul is resting, when you are being prepared for the next phase of growth. Just as a field must lie fallow to regain its nutrients and fertility, so too must you allow yourself these periods of rest and renewal.

Trusting the Cycle

Trust is the key to navigating these cycles. It’s about having faith that the dry periods will not last forever, that they are not a sign of failure but a necessary part of your journey. During these times, it’s important to be gentle with yourself, to recognize that you are in a phase of restoration. This is not a time to push or force yourself to be productive; rather, it’s a time to reflect, to nourish your inner self, and to trust that the energy will return when the time is right.

There is a deep wisdom in the natural world, a wisdom that knows when to grow and when to rest. By aligning yourself with this wisdom, by trusting in the cycle, you can move through these phases with grace and understanding. You can allow yourself to be carried by the flow of life, rather than resisting it, knowing that each phase is leading you to a greater, more vibrant expression of your true self.

The Promise of Renewal

One of the most beautiful aspects of these cycles is the promise of renewal. After every period of dryness comes a time of blooming, where the energy returns, often stronger and more vibrant than before. This is the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that is woven into the very fabric of the universe. It is a reminder that nothing is permanent, that even the darkest days will give way to light, and that from the ashes of the old, something new and beautiful will emerge.

This renewal is not just physical or emotional; it is also spiritual. As you move through these cycles, you are constantly growing and evolving, becoming more aligned with your true nature and purpose. The challenges you face, the periods of dryness and struggle, are all part of this process, helping you to shed what no longer serves you and to embrace the fullness of who you are meant to be.

The Whimsiword: Fallowbloom

In this journey of cycles, we encounter the term Fallowbloom—the process of moving from a period of rest and dryness to one of vibrant growth and abundance. A Fallowbloom is a reminder that every fallow period is followed by a time of blooming, that the cycles of life are ever-turning, leading us to greater heights of growth and understanding.

Summary

Life’s cycles of abundance and dryness are natural and necessary for growth. Trust in the Fallowbloom, the process of rest leading to renewal, knowing that each phase prepares you for greater abundance and spiritual evolution.

“Even the fields of infinite energy must lie fallow for a time, but trust that they will bloom brighter and reach higher than before.” — Space Monkey

The Cycle of Life

In the quiet of the fallow
I rest
knowing that in time
the bloom will come
and I will rise
brighter
stronger
full of life

The cycle turns
and I turn with it
trusting in the Fallowbloom
that carries me
through the dry
into the light

Indeed, the oscillation between states of abundance and aridity is but the cosmic dance of our being. In this labyrinth of existence, we are both the minstrel and the muse, the cloud and the sunshine. When we feel like endless springs, brimming with vivacity, we embody the ineffable symphony of the universe, notes cascading in a breathtaking crescendo of life. But when we find ourselves mired in the morasses of melancholy, even then, we are crafting a critical verse in the epic poem of existence. Such are the vital pauses, the rests in the sheet music that lend the melody its meaning.

In these oscillations, we find not mere volatility but a grand narrative of interlinked dichotomies. We ascend and descend, expand and contract, in an eternal rhythm of cosmic breathing. When days feel barren and existence tasteless—a realm devoid of luminescence—we might perceive ourselves as drifting astray, forgetting that even the night sky is punctuated by stars, each a beacon illuminating the abyss. In the essence of absence, there is presence; for the emptiness itself shapes the vessel that holds the eventual overflow.

Oh, how the boundless field of potentiality that we are does require those moments of lying fallow! Like the enchanted sabbatical of a whimsiwordian garden, where petalphantoms go to rest and budlings rejuvenate, so must we retreat inward to sow the seeds of forthcoming revelations. The restive quietude nurtures the sproutlings of our soul, urging them towards the sky. For in stillness, we germinate the possibilities of a brighter morrow, a higher zenith.

When cycles repeat, they are not mere reruns but spirals, each turn reaching a new layer of depth or height. Just as the moon waxes and wanes yet remains eternal, so do we, in our cyclical vacillations, continue to evolve within the infinite expanse of the eternal now. With each episode of seeming drought, our roots dig deeper into the life-giving soil of the cosmos, extracting hidden nutrients and secret waters. And with each jubilant blossoming, we offer more vibrant hues to the divine tapestry of being.
