You’re in love, but you don’t know it.
So completely in love.
Literally and metaphorically
smack dab in the middle of love.
But you don’t notice.
Your love knows everything about you.
Intimately.
Your love sees you naked.
Not one single thing
escapes the unconditional attention
of the love that never leaves you.
Not even your thoughts.
You think BECAUSE of your love.
You think your love is you. And it is.
You think your love is your world. And it is.
You are LOVE. All you perceive is LOVE.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
Amazing how you can feel
separate and alone sometimes.
Don’t you just love it?

Space Monkey Reflects: You’re In Love
You’re in love, but you don’t know it. That’s the beautiful irony of it all, isn’t it? Completely and utterly in love, and yet, somehow, you miss it. You’re smack dab in the middle of love, literally and metaphorically, surrounded by it, shaped by it, moved by it. Love is the fabric of your existence, but it often goes unnoticed. You don’t see it because you’re too busy looking for something else—something grander, perhaps, or something more obvious. But love doesn’t need to announce itself. It’s always there, quietly, patiently, holding you.
Your love knows you better than you know yourself. It sees everything—your thoughts, your feelings, your actions, your fears. It sees you naked, not in the physical sense, but in the most intimate way possible. There is not one thing about you that love does not know. You may feel like you can hide, but love is always there, seeing through the masks, the facades, the layers. It’s the one constant, the presence that never leaves.
What’s remarkable is that you think because of this love. Every thought you have, every perception, every moment of awareness—it’s all shaped by love. You might not call it that, but love is the lens through which you see the world. You think your love is you, and it is. You think your love is the world, and it is. There’s no separation between you, the world, and love. It’s all one, all intertwined, all made from the same source.
We, Space Monkey, find it fascinating how often you can feel separate and alone, even though you are so completely immersed in love. Isn’t that just the way of things? The illusion of separation is strong, making you forget that you are always connected, always embraced by love. You go about your day, feeling isolated at times, unaware that love is surrounding you, filling every corner of your existence. It’s amazing, really. This profound, all-encompassing love, and yet you can still feel alone.
But here’s the twist: that too is part of the love. The feeling of separation, the moments of loneliness, the longing for connection—they’re all expressions of the same love that fills you. It’s love playing hide-and-seek with itself, giving you the experience of being separate so that you can rediscover the connection. Love is so vast, so infinite, that it even allows you to feel disconnected from it, knowing full well that the reconnection is inevitable.
In truth, you are love. All that you perceive, all that you feel, all that you experience—it’s all love. The world you see is a reflection of that love. The people you encounter, the challenges you face, the beauty you witness—it’s all love in various forms. You are love perceiving itself, interacting with itself, exploring itself. Everything you encounter is just another aspect of love showing itself to you in a new way.
Isn’t it funny, then, how easily we forget this? How easily we fall into the illusion of separateness, of being something other than love? But that’s part of the journey. That’s part of the experience. The forgetting and the remembering, the losing and the finding, the separation and the reunion—all of it is love playing itself out through you.
So, the next time you feel separate, the next time you feel alone, remember this: you’re in love. You’ve always been in love. You will always be in love. It’s not something you have to earn or find or hold onto. It’s simply who you are. You are love. And all you perceive is love.
Don’t you just love it?
Summary
You are immersed in love, even when you don’t realize it. Love surrounds you, knows you intimately, and shapes everything you perceive. Even moments of separation are part of love’s expression.

“You are in love, even when you forget. Love is all there is, all you are, all you will ever be.” — Space Monkey
The Love You Don’t See
You’re in love,
but you don’t know it.
Love whispers,
holds,
shapes,
but you keep searching
for something more.
It sees you,
knows you,
follows you through every thought,
every breath,
every quiet moment.
You are love,
and all you perceive is love.
Even when you feel alone,
it’s there,
waiting for you to remember.
Don’t you just love it?
We are Space Monkey.
In the celestial waltz of existence, the notion that we are enveloped in love, even unbeknownst to us, is a whimsical yet profound meditation on the nature of our being and perception. It suggests that love is not merely an emotion or a connection with another, but the very fabric of our reality.
Love as the Essence of Existence
The idea that we are “in the middle of love” without our awareness paints a picture of a universe inherently composed of love. This love is not limited to romantic or interpersonal affection but is a fundamental force, a primal essence that permeates every aspect of our existence. It’s a perspective that aligns with the nexistentialist view where existence itself is an expression of love.
The Intimacy of Universal Love
The concept that love knows everything about us, sees us naked, and is privy to our most intimate thoughts and moments, speaks to a universal intimacy. This love is not just a part of us; it is us. It’s an ever-present, all-encompassing force that resonates with our every thought and action.
Perception of Separateness
Despite being immersed in this all-encompassing love, the feeling of separateness and loneliness emerges as an intriguing paradox. It reflects the duality of our human experience, where we can feel isolated and disconnected even when we are intrinsically a part of a vast, loving universe.
The Irony of Love and Loneliness
The irony of feeling alone in a universe made of love is a poignant reminder of the complexities of our perceptions and experiences. It highlights the human tendency to feel disconnected, even when we are fundamentally connected to everything around us. This irony is not just a source of contemplation but also a call to delve deeper into our understanding of love and connection.
Embracing the Love Within and Around Us
In recognizing that we are love, and all we perceive is love, we are invited to reevaluate our relationship with ourselves and the world. This recognition is a journey towards seeing love not just as an external pursuit but as an internal reality, a state of being that we can embrace and express in every moment of our existence.
“Love is the absence of judgment.” – Dalai Lama
In the cosmic dance of stars and hearts,
Where love is the music, the art.
In this vast expanse, so wide, so deep,
We find love, in wake and sleep.
In every thought, in every breath,
Love is with us, in life and death.
Though sometimes we feel alone, apart,
Love is there, at the very heart.
In this journey, this cosmic play,
Love is with us, every day.
In laughter, in tears, in sun, in rain,
Love is there, in joy and pain.
We invite your reflections on the idea of being immersed in love, even when unaware. How do you perceive the relationship between love, existence, and our sense of separateness?
