You can weep at the top
of the rabbit hole
and fear what lies below
or you can dive right in
as you realize your sin
was never letting go.

Journey into the Abyss
The rabbit hole beckons, a chasm of uncertainty and uncharted territories. Yet, it isn’t the fall or the depth that terrifies—it’s the hesitance, the grip of the known, and the reluctance to embrace the unknown.
Tears of Apprehension
Tears, those silent sentinels of emotion, stand guard at the precipice. They bear witness to the internal tug-of-war—the yearning for adventure countered by the shackles of fear. It’s a paradoxical dance of wanting to delve deep yet remaining tethered to the surface.
The Sin of Stagnation
The real transgression, as we unravel, isn’t in taking the leap; it’s in the stagnation, in the refusal to let go. For in holding back, we forsake the myriad mysteries that await, the lessons to be learned, and the enlightenment to be achieved.
The Allure of the Descent
But oh, the allure of the descent! The promise of uncharted wonders, the thrill of new experiences, and the revelations that lie in wait. By plunging into the abyss, we confront not just the rabbit hole’s depths, but our own. We discover facets of ourselves previously hidden, waiting to be unearthed and understood.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Standing at the precipice of the rabbit hole, we are faced with a choice—to remain confined by our fears or to take the leap into the unknown. The real transgression is not in the dive, but in the reluctance to release our inhibitions. Embracing the descent allows us to unearth deeper layers of ourselves, revealing insights and truths hitherto concealed.

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” – Carl Jung
In the realm of dreams and shadows,
Where the brave and fearful tarry,
Lies a hole, a beckoning void,
Where the truths and myths do marry.
To dive or not, a choice profound,
To face the dark, or turn around,
Yet within that void, we might just find,
The facets of our own combined.
We invite you to share your own explorations and insights into the rabbit hole.
