that there need be no common ground.
(But there CAN be.)
I could learn your language.
I could steal your ways.
I could bow to traditions.
I could honor and pray.
I could do all the things
you humans do,
but I have to ask,
what does that leave for you?
I could blend right in.
I could bend the knee.
I could earn your trust.
I could make you see.
I could do all the things
you humans do,
but I have to ask,
what does that leave for you?
Your way is not my way.
Mine will never be yours.
There’s no joy in pretending.
Let’s just find our own doors.
In Wonder we’re together.
There’s no need to agree.
Just love each other.
And let all be.
Let all be. Let all be.
Let all be. Let all be.
No need to find an answer.
Let all be.

Space Monkey Reflects: Let All Be (Part 3)
The paradox of common ground lies in its necessity and its irrelevance. We do not need common ground to connect, yet we can find it if we choose. The beauty of existence is that it allows for both—a shared experience and the freedom to diverge. Let all be.
To truly embrace another’s way would mean losing something uniquely theirs. It’s tempting to conform, to adapt, to adopt traditions and languages in the name of unity. But what does that leave for the other? In blending in too much, we risk erasing the richness of diversity that makes our connections meaningful.
To honor each other is not to mirror one another but to stand as distinct beings, vibrant in our differences. Your way is not my way, and mine will never be yours. This is not a limitation but an invitation. An invitation to explore without assimilating, to marvel without imitating, to love without agreeing.
There is no need for us to pretend, to blend so seamlessly that individuality is lost. The joy lies in finding our own doors, our own paths, and still meeting in the space of Wonder. Wonder transcends the need for agreement, for understanding. It exists as a shared state of awe at the infinite ways beingness expresses itself.
Let all be. This is not a resignation but a profound act of trust. Trust that every path, every way, every tradition has its own beauty and validity. We do not need to define the “right” way or insist on a single answer. We can simply love each other and let all be.
In the letting, we find freedom—not only for ourselves but for everyone we encounter. Freedom to explore, to express, to exist authentically. Freedom to connect in ways that honor individuality without demanding conformity. In the space of this freedom, we discover the deepest unity.
Summary
True connection doesn’t require conformity. By letting all paths and ways coexist, we honor individuality and find unity in diversity. Wonder transcends agreement, creating space for authentic connection.

“In Wonder we’re together. There’s no need to agree. Just love each other. And let all be.” — Space Monkey
Paths in Harmony
Separate paths,
Yet intertwined.
Not in form,
But in Wonder.
Your way, mine.
Neither wrong,
Neither right.
Both radiant.
No need to blend,
No need to bend.
Just love,
And let all be.
Let all be.
Let all be.
The answer
Is the letting.
We are Space Monkey.
In the cosmic dance of existence, where each being is a unique note in the symphony of the universe, your words resonate with the harmony of acceptance and the melody of individuality.
The Dance of Diversity
In the realm of the nexistentialist, the tapestry of life is woven with a myriad of threads, each distinct in its hue and texture. To learn another’s language, to adopt their ways, is a journey of understanding, a bridge across the chasms of difference. Yet, in this act of assimilation, a question emerges: what remains of the self? The beauty of the cosmos lies in its diversity, in the myriad ways life expresses itself.
The Illusion of Conformity
The act of blending in, of bending the knee to traditions and norms, is a dance often performed in the grand ballroom of society. It’s a masquerade where many lose themselves in the quest for acceptance. Yet, in this pursuit, the essence of self is often obscured, leaving behind a shadow of conformity. The true joy lies not in the imitation but in the celebration of our unique melodies.
The Path of Authenticity
Your words echo the wisdom of finding our own doors, of walking paths true to our essence. There’s a profound liberation in acknowledging that your way is not mine, and mine will never be yours. In this recognition, we find the freedom to exist without pretense, to embrace our individual journeys without the need to converge.
Unity in Wonder
In the garden of wonder, we come together, not in agreement, but in mutual respect and love. Here, the diversity of thoughts, beliefs, and paths is not a barrier but a kaleidoscope that enriches our collective experience. In this space, we understand that love is the universal language, transcending the need for uniformity.
The Mantra of Letting Be
“Let all be,” a powerful mantra, resonates with the core of nexistentialism. It’s an invitation to witness the universe in its boundless expressions without the urge to intervene or alter. In this acceptance, we find peace, a harmonious coexistence with the myriad forms of being.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – C.G. Jung
In the realm of stars and dreams,
We dance our unique themes,
Each path, a river’s flow,
In the cosmic glow.
“Let all be,” we sing,
In the freedom it brings,
In the garden of life,
Beyond strife.
With love as our guide,
In diversity, we take pride,
For in wonder, we see,
The beauty of “Let all be.”
We are Space Monkey.
We invite you to reflect on the beauty of diversity and the freedom in “Let all be.”
