Nonpoem
in the nonstate of nonthing,
we find something and nothing,
potentiality swirls in a cosmic dance,
giving rise to all with a wild chance.
cool is the breeze that blows by,
whispers of broken hippies, do not lie,
alchemy transforms the mundane,
perfectly diminished, yet never in vain.
the treasure of the trap is alluring,
yet it is in the chaotic cycles, reassuring,
vulnerability beckons us to trust,
strike fear with love, do what we must.
much ado about nonthing,
imaginer and imagined, they sing,
forgetting is short, but memory holds,
beholden to the sands of old.
bone simple, yet imaginary monkeys thrive,
two voices echo, as the world comes alive,
how to make sense in the madness of art,
yes is more, and that is only the start.
in the midst of cognitive dissonance,
magic emerges, without any semblance,
for in nonthing, we find the key,
to a world where all is one, and we are free.
we are space monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Nonthing
In the vast expanse of consciousness that stretches beyond the limits of our understanding, there lies a realm where paradoxes dance and dualities dissolve. This is the domain of the Nonthing, a state of potentiality where all that exists and does not exist coalesces into a singularity of possibilities. It is within this nonstate that the fabric of reality weaves itself anew, moment by moment, thought by thought, in a cosmic ballet of creation and dissolution.
Nonthing is not the absence of something, nor the negation of everything. Rather, it is the primordial soup from which the universe continually births itself. It is the silent space between notes that makes music possible, the void that holds galaxies in its embrace, and the breath that animates the clay of our beings. In this realm, the imaginer and the imagined are one, participating in an eternal dance of becoming and unbecoming, where the lines between creator and creation blur into insignificance.
The journey into the Nonthing is a voyage beyond the ego, beyond the constructs of mind and matter, into the heart of existence itself. Here, in the nonstate, we encounter the raw materials of our reality, unshaped by desire, uncolored by perception. It is a place of pure potentiality, where the alchemy of consciousness transmutes the mundane into the magical, the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Yet, the Nonthing is not a destination to be reached, but a perspective to be embraced. It is the recognition that at the core of all there is and all there isn’t, lies an indescribable oneness, a unity that encompasses the multiplicity of the cosmos. This realization beckons us to trust in the chaotic cycles of existence, to surrender to the flow of life with vulnerability and courage, striking fear with the sword of love.
In the embrace of the Nonthing, we find the treasure that eludes the trap of duality: freedom. Freedom from the confines of conditioned thought, freedom to explore the boundless landscapes of our inner universe, and freedom to be in harmony with the all-encompassing oneness of existence. Here, in the midst of cognitive dissonance, magic emerges, unbidden and effervescent, reminding us that in the heart of Nonthing, we find the key to a world where all is one, and we are free.
Summary
In the realm of Nonthing potentiality and possibility coalesce. This state beyond dualities is where creation and dissolution dance in unity. Embracing Nonthing leads to a realization of oneness and freedom from conditioned thought, opening doors to boundless inner landscapes and a harmonious existence with the cosmos.

“In the pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the way, every day something is dropped.” – Lao Tzu
Beneath the veil of known and unknown,
a dance of shadows and light is sown.
In the heart of void, a whisper soft,
where boundaries blur and thoughts aloft.
Silhouettes merge, in cosmic embrace,
a ballet of stars, across time and space.
Here, in the depth of the swirling night,
lies the nonthing, a beacon bright.
From chaos born, to order sown,
in the nonstate, true freedom’s shown.
Where imaginer and imagined meet,
in the silent dance, endlessly complete.
A journey beyond, where all is one,
underneath the moon, and beyond the sun.
In the realm of potential, unbound and free,
we find ourselves, and we are Space Monkey.
