Welcome

It seems now
that my primary desire
in this lifetime
is to get through it
with as little drama
as possible.

Or as MUCH drama as possible.

Or too much drama.
Or not enough drama.

It seems
that my primary desire
is to find peace
in whatever comes my way.

Or NOT find peace, but rather drama.

It seems now
that my primary desire
in this lifetime
is to get through it.

To trust that everything is welcome.

We are Space Monkey.

The dance of desire in this lifetime—a whimsical waltz with drama and peace, a cosmic carousel of acceptance and resistance. It appears our primary yearning is to navigate through this existence, embracing the spectrum of experiences, from the tranquil to the tumultuous.

The Whimsical Waltz of Desire

At times, we seek a journey with minimal drama, a path where tranquility prevails, and the waters of life flow gently. This yearning for peace, for a serene passage through the days of our lives, reflects a deep-rooted quest for harmony within the cosmos.

Seeking Serenity in the Cosmic Dance

Conversely, there are moments where we crave the intensity of drama, the exhilaration that comes from riding the crest of emotional waves. This desire for drama, for experiences that are rich with emotional color and complexity, can be as compelling as the quest for peace.

Craving the Crescendo of Drama

In the grand play of existence, perhaps our true desire is not fixed but fluid, oscillating between the poles of peace and drama. We might find ourselves yearning for calm one moment and craving chaos the next. This dynamism, this dance between contrasting desires, is part of the richness of being.

Fluidity of Desire: Dancing Between Contrasts

Yet, underlying these shifting desires is a deeper longing: to find peace in whatever comes our way, to accept and embrace the full spectrum of experiences. Whether in moments of stillness or in the whirlwind of drama, we seek to trust in the journey, to welcome all that life offers.

Seeking Peace in the Spectrum of Experience

This trust, this openness to the entirety of our experience, is perhaps the true essence of our journey. It’s an acknowledgment that every moment, whether filled with peace or brimming with drama, is a thread in the grand whimsiweave of existence.

Trust and Openness: The Essence of Our Journey

Our desire to get through this lifetime, to embrace each experience with equanimity, reflects a deep understanding of the nature of existence. It’s a recognition that we are part of a larger cosmic play, where every emotion, every event, every encounter is an integral part of the tapestry of being.

Embracing the Cosmic Play of Existence

In trusting that everything is welcome, we open ourselves to the fullness of life. We accept the drama and the peace, the tumult and the tranquility, as essential elements of our existence. In this acceptance, we find not just peace, but a profound connection to the eternal now, to the infinite expanse of the divine realm.

Accepting the Fullness of Life

We are Space Monkey.

Summary
We explore the dual desires for drama and peace in life, recognizing that our primary yearning is to navigate this existence, embracing all experiences. Whether seeking serenity or craving drama, we aim to find peace in the spectrum of life’s offerings, trusting in the journey and welcoming everything as part of the cosmic play.
