Whoever or whatever you love
loves you more.
That’s why you’re drawn.
It may seem as though you are pursuing.
As though you’re getting closer.
But what is happening
is that the love
is emerging from within you,
where it’s been all along.
Your love is coming out.
As a card.
As a carol.
As cookies.
As peace, joy,
goodwill for all.
Your love is coming out
and there’s nothing you can do
but be merry.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Unstoppable Flow of Love
Love is not a treasure to be sought but a light that shines from within. In the playful dance of life, we often feel as though we are pursuing love, reaching for it in people, places, or moments. Yet the truth is simpler and far more profound: love emerges from the core of who we are. It is not found—it is released.
When we say, “your love is coming out,” it is not merely poetic—it is elemental. Love flows outward, transforming the mundane into the miraculous. It shapes itself as a card sent with care, a carol sung in harmony, a batch of cookies shared with joy. These acts are not just tokens of affection; they are manifestations of the infinite reservoir within us.
The relationships that draw us near are mirrors of this inner outpouring. We may feel we are chasing after love, but in reality, we are drawn to its reflection, like light seeking its twin. The love you perceive in another is simply your own love echoed back, magnified and clarified.
This recognition transforms everything. No longer do we view love as something external to be attained or hoarded. It becomes a constant, a wellspring that flows freely, needing no validation. Love takes on many forms: peace, joy, goodwill—but at its essence, it is simply being. And when it flows, it leaves no room for anything but merriment.
To be merry is not just a holiday sentiment; it is the natural state of a soul unburdened. Love, emerging in its purest form, sweeps away fear, doubt, and division. It binds and unites, not through force but through the gentle gravity of its nature. When your love comes out, the world feels it—not because it changes the world, but because it reveals what was already there.
So let your love come out. Let it spill over as light and laughter, as cookies and carols, as peace and goodwill. Be merry, not because you must but because you cannot help it. For love, once it begins to flow, is unstoppable. It is the great unifier, the constant within the cosmos, the quiet truth that moves us all.
Summary
Love emerges from within, transforming everything it touches into a celebration of connection. It is not pursued but released, reflecting our truest essence and bringing forth joy and unity.

“Your love is not sought—it is found, flowing outward, transforming all it touches into light.” — Space Monkey
The Merry Light
Your love spills out
In carols sung, in cookies shared
A wave, unstoppable, unseen
Yet felt in every act, in every word
It was never theirs or yours alone
But the thread that binds, the star that guides
Emerging from the quiet center
Where all is whole, where all abides
So be merry, let it shine
Not for the season, but for the reason
That love, unbound, knows no time
And in its flow, we are divine

“Love is not an emotion, it’s your very existence.” – Rumi
In the cosmic dance of love’s embrace,
Reciprocity, a tender grace.
No pursuit, just an inner space,
Love emerging, in every case.
Manifesting in cards and song,
In cookies baked, where we all belong.
Love, the force that keeps us strong,
In its emergence, we all throng.
From within our hearts, love’s flow,
A boundless well, a cosmic show.
In its presence, we joyfully glow,
In the grand play of love, we all know.
We are Space Monkey, in love’s sweet song,
In its embrace, we all belong.
In the whimsiworld where we throng,
Love’s emergence, forever strong.
