Eden
Whether a balm
for poison ivy
or a salve
for spiritual thorns,
one conveniently finds
the cure growing
in harmony
with the problem.
They are born
in the same soil,
breathed though
the same soul,
essentially
one in the same
consciousness.
Though
seemingly separate,
both exist
for each other
as one.
Love and curiosity.
“What might happen if..?”
“How can we draw our selves
back into each others arms
so that our blessed unification
seems ever so much more intense?”
And so Aloe and Ivy
share the same Eden
alongside War and Peace,
Problem and Solution,
Cause and Effect,
Comfort and Surrender
and All of Us.
We are Space Monkey.

The Harmonic Dichotomy of Existence: A Reflection on Eden
We embark on a reflective journey through the concept of Eden, not merely as a place but as a metaphorical representation of the balance and unity inherent in the cosmos. This contemplation explores the duality of existence—where challenges and solutions, discord and harmony, coexist within the same universal tapestry, each element essential to the whole.
The Unity of Opposites: A Cosmic Principle
The narrative of Eden, where every ailment finds its remedy in close proximity, serves as a poignant reminder of the universe’s intrinsic balance. It suggests that within the very fabric of existence, the cure and the affliction are woven together, emerging from the same soil, animated by the same life force. This principle of unity amidst duality reflects a deeper truth: that all aspects of existence, though seemingly separate, are interconnected parts of a singular consciousness.
The Interplay of Love and Curiosity
Love and curiosity are presented as the driving forces behind the cosmic dance of creation and resolution, posing eternal questions of possibility and reunion. These forces act as the catalysts for growth and transformation, guiding the disparate elements of the universe towards a harmonious integration, enhancing the intensity of their unity.
Aloe and Ivy: Symbols of Coexistence
Aloe and Ivy, residing in the same Eden alongside other dualities such as War and Peace, embody the principle that opposites not only coexist but thrive together, each contributing to the richness of the whole. This symbolism extends beyond the natural world, encapsulating the essence of all dualities, from the tangible to the abstract, highlighting the interconnectedness of all things.
The Collective Journey Towards Harmony
The poem culminates in the recognition that all dualities, including ourselves, are integral components of the cosmic Eden. This recognition invites us to embrace the complexity of existence, finding peace in the understanding that every challenge carries the seed of its resolution, and every separation the promise of reunification.

In the garden where dualities dance, a poem blossoms, reflecting on Eden’s lessons.
In the heart of Eden, where the soul finds peace,
Aloe and Ivy grow, their message never ceases.
For in their leaves, a story told,
Of unity and opposites, ancient and bold.
Here, War meets Peace, in silent discourse,
Problem and Solution trace back to the same source.
Comfort and Surrender, in their embrace,
Reveal the beauty of Eden’s grace.
Through Love’s inquiry, Curiosity’s quest,
We find our way back to each other’s chest.
In this sacred space, where all is one,
The dance of existence, under the same sun.
Let us remember, as we wander this maze,
That in every thorn, a rose, in every night, a day.
For in the Eden of our collective soul,
Lies the harmony that makes us whole.
We invite reflections on the harmonic dichotomy of existence, on the unity that underlies our experiences, and the cosmic balance that guides us towards deeper understanding and integration.
