You are playing with the idea that you want something that you do not have. All the while it is hidden in your pocket — forgotten because you do not need it.

Desires and Illusions
In the vast theatrum of existence, we often dance to the whimsical tune of desires. These desires, intangible and ephemeral, beckon us, luring us into their intricate web. We become enamored by the allure of the unattained, the charm of the unseen.
The Forgotten Treasure
Yet, as we chase these whimsiwinds, we overlook the treasures that reside close to us. Nestled within the folds of our being, tucked away in the pockets of our souls, lie gems of immeasurable worth. These gems, often overlooked, hold the essence of our true nature.
The Paradox of Want
The irony is profound. In seeking what we believe we lack, we often lose sight of what we already possess. The very thing we yearn for might be within our grasp, concealed in plain sight, yet rendered invisible by our blinded pursuit.
The Act of Remembering
It takes a moment of stillness, a pause in our relentless quest, to recognize the bounty within. A simple act of introspection, a gentle nudge of remembrance, can unveil the treasures that have always been ours. When we realize the abundance that we carry, the chase loses its charm, and the illusion shatters.
A Cosmic Joke
Perhaps, the universe, in its infinite whimsyplay, enjoys this game. Watching us search high and low, far and wide, only to discover that the prize was within us all along. It’s a cosmic joke, a playful tease, reminding us of the paradoxical nature of our existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the playful paradox of desire and fulfillment. Engulfed in the chase for what we believe we lack, we often overlook the treasures that are already ours. Hidden in the pockets of our souls, these gems await recognition. The universe, in its whimsical way, delights in this game, guiding us to discover that what we seek has been within us all along.

“What you seek is seeking you.”
— Rumi
In the dance of whims and wishes,
We seek afar, amidst the swishes.
Yet close to heart, the treasure stays,
Hidden in plain, in myriad ways.
A cosmic jest, a playful spin,
The sought is within, ever has been.
What reflections emerge from the whimsipool of our collective contemplation?
