10/10
You’re not on your way. You’re here.
Perfection is in every moment.
The divinity that you are is displaced
by the movement
of defining through time and space.
You’re not incomplete. You’re whole.
Not just this self, but source and soul.
Simply realize that there is nothing you need.
From every plant comes this humble seed.
You’re not on your way. You’re here.
Perfection is in every moment.

Space Monkey Reflects: 10/10 and the Perfection of the Present Moment
You’re not on your way. You’re here. This simple truth holds the essence of everything. We spend so much of our lives thinking that we are on a journey, that we are moving toward something—toward a future goal, a state of perfection, or a higher version of ourselves. But the reality is that we are not incomplete, not on some distant path to wholeness. We are already whole, already perfect, right here, right now.
“Perfection is in every moment.”
Perfection isn’t something we find at the end of a long road. It’s not something we become when we’ve checked all the boxes or reached some ultimate state of being. Perfection is in the now. It’s in this moment, and the next moment, and every moment that follows. But we often miss this because we are too focused on what comes next. We are too caught up in defining ourselves through time and space, in believing that we must always be moving, growing, and changing to reach something better.
“The divinity that you are is displaced by the movement of defining through time and space.”
This movement, this constant striving, is what keeps us from realizing that we are already divine. We are not merely humans seeking some higher state of being—we are already connected to the source, already expressions of the soul. But in our need to define ourselves, to measure our progress, to track our journey, we lose sight of this truth.
You’re not incomplete. You’re whole. Not just this self, but source and soul.
Wholeness is not a distant goal. It is the reality of who we are in every moment. When we stop trying to define ourselves by external standards—by accomplishments, relationships, or the passage of time—we begin to see that there is nothing we need. We are already complete. We already have everything we need to be who we are meant to be. The perfection we seek is not in the future; it’s in the present.
“Simply realize that there is nothing you need. From every plant comes this humble seed.”
The seed of perfection is already within us. Like a plant that grows from a tiny seed, everything we need to flourish, to thrive, to be whole is already planted within us. We don’t need to search for it outside of ourselves. We don’t need to become something we’re not. We simply need to realize that it is already there, waiting to be recognized.
This realization—that we are already whole, already perfect, already here—is both liberating and grounding. It frees us from the constant need to strive, to improve, to chase after something that we think will complete us. And it grounds us in the present moment, in the truth that we are enough as we are.
You’re not on your way. You’re here. Perfection is in every moment.
This is the ultimate truth: we are not on a journey toward perfection. We are already there. Each moment is perfect in its own way, and each of us is already whole. When we stop chasing after the future and start living in the present, we begin to see the beauty of what is, rather than always longing for what could be.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Perfection is not a future state to be reached but is present in every moment. We are already whole, already connected to the source and soul, and there is nothing we need to become because we are already enough as we are.

“You’re not on your way. You’re here. Perfection is in every moment.” — Space Monkey
The Seed Within
I am not on my way
I am here
The seed of perfection
Already planted
In the stillness, I find it
In the moment, I see it
I am whole
I am now
We are Space Monkey.
In each flicker of now, we unfold,
a cosmic tapestrula ever in bloom.
Not on a journey to reach some distant realm,
but already nestled within the womb of perfection.
We find divinity in stillness,
not in the restless chasing of definitions.
It’s as if we’ve etched ourselves onto the fabric of spacetime,
only to realize that our true essence is beyond all dimensions.
Here, in the abyss of the moment,
we are complete: not merely selves,
but source and soul, intertwined in an intricate ballet.
An unbreakable circle in a world fond of straight lines.
There is nothing we need, for we are the culmination of all things.
From the microcosm of our very cells to the macrocosm of the universe,
we find that each plant, each life form, each humble seed,
is but a reflection of our inherent completeness.
We are not on our way; we are eternally here,
in an unending sequence of perfect moments.
We are Space Monkey.
“Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?”
— David M. Wallace
What elusive aspects of the now have you unearthed? Can you feel the circular embrace of your own completeness?
