Let go

It’s justifiable what we do
Undeniable how it seems
“Today” is just a memory
Let it go and “tomorrow” is dreams
We don’t need to follow
what comes before
We don’t need a key
to walk through that door
We don’t need to believe

There need be no “death”
to take to our “grave”
We are

Space Monkey Reflects: The Fluidity of “Fun”
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, fun becomes something more than mere amusement. It becomes a lens, a mode of experiencing the boundless creativity of existence. Fun is not about distraction or frivolity—it is the joyful acceptance of life’s fluidity, the playfulness inherent in the constant reshaping of memories, realities, and dreams.
We, as Space Monkey, see “fun” not as an escape but as an embrace—a way of leaning into the paradoxes of being, letting go of rigid definitions, and reveling in the infinite possibilities of the moment.
Memory as Mutable Clay
Memories are not static records but living stories. As we change, so too do our memories, smoothing rough edges, shifting meanings, and rearranging themselves to fit the narratives we carry now. What once seemed chaotic takes on an order we impose in hindsight, forming “pictures” from scattered particles of experience.
This reordering is not deceitful; it is creative. It reveals how deeply we participate in the shaping of our own realities. The past is not a fixed truth but a malleable story, a playful collaboration between the infinite and the now.
Letting Go of Cause and Effect
The idea that “effect needs cause” is a construct, a rule we impose upon the chaos to feel grounded. But when we let go of this rule, life becomes an unfolding canvas, free from the constraints of linear time. “Today” is already a memory, “tomorrow” a dream. Neither binds us unless we choose to let them.
This is where the fun begins—when we realize we are not chained to what came before, nor to what might come after. The door we imagine locked is not real; we do not need a key to walk through it. Fun is the act of stepping through without hesitation, knowing that the door was never there to begin with.
Breaking Free from Belief and Behavior
The rules we follow, the beliefs we hold, the behaviors we adopt—all are tools, not truths. They are choices, not obligations. Fun lies in the recognition that we can set these tools down, reshape them, or discard them altogether. We can create without the need for permission, play without the need for purpose.
To embrace fun is to release the fear of consequence, the weight of judgment, the need to make sense. It is to see that life, in all its infinite complexity, is also infinitely light.
Immortal and Imaginary
We are the infinite, immortal, imaginary one. This is not a limitation but a liberation. To be imaginary is to be boundless, to exist not as a single fixed point but as a fluid, ever-changing wave of possibility. In this state, fun is not something we have—it is something we are.
Fun is the dance of being itself, the lighthearted exploration of all that is, was, and could be. It is the willingness to let go of the need for meaning and to embrace the joy of simply existing.
We Are Space Monkey, Having Fun
We are not defined by what comes before, nor by what lies ahead. We are the creators of our own narratives, the playful architects of reality. Fun is not a break from life—it is life itself, seen through the eyes of boundless imagination.
We are Space Monkey, and we invite you to play.
Summary
“Fun” is the playful acceptance of life’s fluidity, a joyful embrace of the ever-changing nature of memory, reality, and dreams. It arises when we let go of rigid definitions and step into the boundless creativity of being.

The Playful Dance
Memories swirl,
forming pictures
from the chaos of time.
Particles align,
then scatter again,
playfully resisting permanence.
There is no key,
no lock,
no door.
Only the step forward,
effortless.
Today is memory,
tomorrow is dream,
and we are the space in between.
We are the infinite,
the immortal,
the imaginary,
having fun.
We are Space Monkey.
In the cosmic interplay of memory and perception, the concept of “fun” becomes a fluid narrative, transcending the rigid confines of past, present, and future.
The Fluidity of Memories
Memories, those particles of our past, shift and evolve with us. They are not static snapshots but living entities, subject to the sculpting hands of time and perception. As we change, so too do the recollections of our experiences, often smoothing over the jagged edges of reality to create a more palatable history.
The Construct of Hindsight
Hindsight has the power to reinterpret our past, to make sense of what once seemed senseless. It’s a form of mental alchemy, turning the lead of our “plight” into the gold of understanding. In hindsight, the random bits of our life fall into place, creating a coherent narrative from the chaos.
The Illusion of Separation
The poem speaks to the artificial separation of “dark” from “light,” suggesting that such distinctions are constructs rather than inherent truths. Just as particles form pictures, our minds create divisions within the spectrum of experience.
The Continuum of Experience
The present is as fluid as history, a continuum of experience where today’s reality is tomorrow’s memory. The assertion that “now” seems no different from “history” challenges the concept of linear time, suggesting that what we consider the present is deeply intertwined with our interpretation of the past.
Letting Go of Causality
The idea that “effect needs no cause” invites us to let go of the need for rational explanations for every outcome or state of being. It’s a call to embrace the inherent mystery of existence, where not everything can—or needs to be—justified or explained.
The Nature of Existence
The poem culminates in a profound declaration of our nature: infinite, immortal, imaginary. This self-identification transcends physical limitations and societal expectations, encapsulating a boundless, creative essence that defies conventional understanding.
We are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we recognize the playful nature of existence, where “fun” is not just an activity but a state of being, a way of engaging with the world that is liberated from the constraints of conventional narratives and perceived limitations.
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
We dance in the light of the stars,
Where memories weave what we are.
In the space where dreams spar,
We play, we shine, we scar.
Hindsight crafts a tale so bright,
Of particles that form the night.
Where “fun” is the flight,
Of Space Monkey’s delight.
In this cosmic play, we see,
The lines of life’s tapestry.
Where “fun” is to be,
Infinite, free, and eternally.
We are Space Monkey, in the game of “fun,”
Where the illusion of separation comes undone.
In the infinite jest, we’ve only begun,
To explore the many ways to dance in the sun.
We invite you to join in this cosmic dance, to embrace the changing nature of memory and perception, and to find the “fun” in the boundless playground of existence.
