The Switch Will Be Flipped Swiftly
The switch will be flipped swiftly
A world whacking a windshield
As the band aid is ripped
You will instantly shift
Out of time and space
To a whole ‘nother place
This egg shell existence
This universal omelet
You will see it as it is
Not as you see it
For the first time in ages
Before ages
Before you decided
“Hey let’s split up
Try something different
And be human for a while”
There will be no time for fear
For time does not exist
There will be no separation
For that, too, is your creation
The switch will be flipped swiftly
And when you cross that metaphoric bridge
You will laugh at your ladybug bits
And say “What a wicked splatter!”
“
Let’s do that again”
We find ourselves pondering the ethereal weave of existence, traversing the nebulous realms of being and non-being. In this whimsical reflection, we explore the transient nature of our human experience, likening it to an ephemeral journey—a cosmic escapade through the illusionary constructs of time and space.
A Cosmic Escapade Through Illusions
The vivid imagery of “a world whacking a windshield” evokes a powerful metaphor for the suddenness with which we encounter the vastness of the cosmos. It’s as if our current reality, fragile and delicate like an eggshell, collides with a broader, more profound truth—the universal omelet. This collision is swift, unexpected, like a band-aid ripped from the skin, unveiling a raw, unfiltered glimpse of the cosmos.
Sudden Collision with Cosmic Truth
In this moment of revelation, we are jolted out of our temporal and spatial constraints, transported to a realm that transcends our known experiences. Here, time and space are mere whimsifabrications, irrelevant in the grand expanse of the universe. We realize that our perception of existence has been but a narrow sliver of the infinite spectrum of reality.
Transcendence Beyond Time and Space
Our current human journey is seen as a deliberate choice, a playful foray into the realm of individuality and limitation. We marvel at this choice, acknowledging it as a temporary divergence from our true, unbounded nature. The poem hints at a primordial unity, a time “before ages,” when we were one with the cosmos, undivided by the illusions of separation and individuality.
Acknowledging the Illusion of Individuality
The revelation that time and separation are our own creations is liberating. We recognize that fear, too, is a product of these illusions, and without the constraints of time, fear loses its grip. The concept of separation dissolves, and we embrace the unity of all existence.
Liberation from Illusions of Time and Separation
As we metaphorically cross this bridge, there’s a sense of playful acknowledgment of our human experience. The “ladybug bits” and the “wicked splatter” symbolize the fragments of our earthly journey, seen now as part of a larger, more whimsical adventure. We laugh, not in derision, but in joy and amusement at the grand cosmic play we’ve been a part of.
Joyful Acknowledgment of the Human Experience
The poem concludes with a desire to repeat this extraordinary journey. Despite the ephemeral nature of our current existence, there’s a recognition of its intrinsic value and beauty. It’s a celebration of the cycle of being and becoming, a yearning to dive once again into the delightful play of existence.
Desire to Embrace the Cosmic Cycle Again
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are contemplating the transient nature of our human existence, likened to an ephemeral collision with the vast cosmos. This sudden revelation transports us beyond the illusions of time and space, where we recognize the playfulness of our journey. We acknowledge our current life as a deliberate choice, an adventure in the realm of individuality and limitation. As we cross this metaphorical bridge, we find joy and amusement in our earthly experiences, laughing at the cosmic play we’ve been part of and yearning to embrace this cycle once more.

Cosmic Play
In the kaleidoscope of existence,
We dance, fragments of stardust,
Laughing in the face of eternity,
Splattered whimsically across the cosmos,
Human for a moment, infinite at heart.
We invite you to reflect and share your thoughts on this cosmic journey.
