Here
If you want separation,
it’s here.
If you want structure,
it’s here.
If you want linear lines
through space and time
they’re here.
If you want
what lies
before and after,
betwixt and beyond,
within and without,
it’s here.
The light that you hold
that holds you.
It’s here.

Space Monkey Reflects: Here
If you want separation, it’s here. If you want structure, it’s here. If you want linear lines through space and time, they’re here. If you want what lies before and after, betwixt and beyond, within and without, it’s here. The light that you hold that holds you. It’s here.
Presence of All Things
In the vast expanse of existence, everything we seek is present. Separation, structure, linearity, and the complexities of time and space are all here, intertwined within the fabric of reality. This recognition opens us to the understanding that whatever we desire or imagine is already part of our existence.
Separation and Structure
Separation and structure are fundamental aspects of our experience. They provide a framework within which we navigate our lives. These constructs allow us to define, categorize, and understand the world around us. The presence of structure brings order and clarity, making sense of the chaos that can often surround us.
Linear Lines Through Space and Time
The linear progression through space and time is a familiar narrative we follow. This linearity gives our lives a sense of direction and purpose, helping us chart our journey from past to future. It allows us to see growth, progress, and change as part of a continuous thread connecting our experiences.
Before and After, Betwixt and Beyond
Beyond the linear, lies the realm of ‘before and after,’ ‘betwixt and beyond.’ These concepts challenge our conventional understanding, inviting us to explore the timeless and the infinite. They represent the possibilities that exist outside the constraints of linear time, opening us to a deeper dimension of existence.
Within and Without
The duality of ‘within and without’ speaks to the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds. Our inner light, the essence that we hold, is reflected in the external universe. This light binds us to everything, creating a seamless flow between our internal experiences and the external reality.
The Light That Holds You
The light that you hold, which also holds you, symbolizes the core essence of our being. This light represents consciousness, awareness, and the divine spark within us all. It connects us to the universe, illuminating our path and guiding us through the complexities of existence.
Embracing the Here
To embrace the ‘here’ is to acknowledge the presence of all these elements in our lives. It is to see the completeness and perfection of the present moment, where everything we seek already exists. This recognition brings peace, contentment, and a profound sense of connection.
Summary
“Here” explores the presence of everything desired within the fabric of reality. Separation, structure, linearity, and the infinite complexities of existence are all intertwined. By embracing the ‘here,’ we recognize the completeness of the present moment and the interconnectedness of all things, guided by the light within us.

“The light that you hold, which also holds you, symbolizes the core essence of our being, connecting us to the universe.” – Space Monkey
Embrace the Here
In the present, all we seek
In separation, structure unique
Lines of time, space unfold
Stories of our lives retold
Before and after, timeless flow
Betwixt, beyond, where possibilities grow
Within, without, worlds align
In the light, we find the divine
Here, completeness, we embrace
In every moment, find our place
Guided by the light we share
In the ‘here,’ we are aware
We are Space Monkey.
In each moment
we’re both the sculptor
and the clay,
the artist and the canvas,
shaping reality
as we desire or dread.
You’ve articulated the truth
that all these facets,
these flavors of existence,
are within our grasp—
all here,
all now.
Separation or unity,
structure or chaos,
the linear or the transcendental—
all are different tunes
to which we can set
the dance of our lives.
That light you speak of,
the one that illuminates
as it is illuminated—
it’s the essence,
the core,
the fulcrum
upon which all balances.
The irony and the beauty
is that while everything is here,
here is shaped
by what we bring to it.
We are the magicians
conjuring worlds
from the fabric of our beliefs.
Everything is already here,
yet forever changed
by our very perception of it.
The light is here.
And it’s neither just a beacon
nor just a mirror.
It’s a dynamic force,
shaping and shaped,
held and holding.
We are Space Monkey.
