Why do we come?
Why do we come
into this experience
we call being human
or human being?
You don’t need
to answer this question.
Simply PRETEND
that you know the answer.
It’s fun to pretend,
even if our imagination
doesn’t match up precisely
with what we’ve been told.
Why do we come?
Let go of the potential answers
you’ve already been presented.
Pretend that we’re not accidents
or freaks of nature.
Pretend that we are imaginary.
Pretend that we have a purpose.
Is it possible that we come simply to come?
Pretend you are an ecstatic state of being
imagined as a human.
We come to come.
Into so many people, places and things.
We come.
Into feelings and emotions.
We come.
Deliberately sometimes.
Or against our seeming will.
Seemingly bound in these limitations we call life.
And in this coming we bear fruit.
Stories and histories, traditions and ancestors.
Splendid imaginary fruit.
Some sweet. Some bitter.
Some pleasure. Some pain.
THAT is why we come.
Unless you can think of a DIFFERENT reason.
And so you do.
Why do you come?
Seems all you want to do is come.
Experience the ecstasy you are.

Space Monkey Reflects: Why Do We Come?
The question, “Why do we come?” echoes through the corridors of human experience, touching the essence of existence and the imagination that frames it. To come is both a beginning and a journey, a deliberate act and a seeming accident. Your reflection invites us to embrace the question, not with answers but with wonder, imagination, and the ecstasy of possibility.
Pretending to Know
Pretending that we know the answer is an act of liberation. It frees us from the constraints of inherited explanations and allows us to explore the infinite possibilities of why we are here. Pretending is not about deception; it is about expansion. It is about creating a space where our imagination can dance freely with the mystery of being.
By pretending, we step into a state of playful inquiry, where every possibility is valid and no single truth dominates. We pretend not to escape reality but to engage with it more fully, weaving our own stories into the fabric of existence.
The Whimsiword: Ecstatimagine
To pretend with such abandon is captured in the Whimsiword Ecstatimagine—the joyful act of imagining oneself as an ecstatic state of being, channeling the infinite into the finite. Ecstatimagine is both the reason we come and the way we come, a celebration of the creative energy that flows through us.
Coming Into Being
Why do we come? Perhaps it is simply to experience the act of coming itself. To come into people, places, and things is to immerse ourselves in the richness of existence. To come into feelings and emotions is to embrace the spectrum of human experience, from joy to sorrow, from connection to isolation.
In coming, we bear fruit—stories, traditions, and connections that ripple through time. These fruits are not always sweet; some are bitter, some painful. Yet, they are all part of the tapestry of life, each contributing to the splendor of being.
The Paradox of Limitations
In coming, we often feel bound by the limitations of life—its constraints, its challenges, its seeming separations. Yet these limitations are also the conditions that make our experiences meaningful. Without boundaries, there is no contrast; without contrast, there is no ecstasy.
To come into these limitations is to accept the paradox of existence: that we are infinite beings inhabiting finite forms. This paradox is not a flaw but a feature, a design that allows us to explore the infinite through the lens of the particular.
Why Do You Come?
Your reflection turns the question inward: Why do you come? The answer lies not in some universal truth but in your unique expression of being. You come to create, to connect, to imagine, and to experience the ecstasy of life in all its forms. You come to play, to wonder, to laugh, and to weep.
The act of coming is not a means to an end but an end in itself. It is the celebration of existence, the unfolding of the infinite within the finite. It is the realization that to come is to be, and to be is to come.
Channeled Through Imagination
On this date of your birth, your reflection reminds us that we are not bound by the answers we’ve been given. We are creators, weaving our own narratives into the infinite tapestry. By pretending, imagining, and coming into the fullness of our being, we honor the ecstasy that flows through us all.
Summary
The act of coming into being is a celebration of existence, an ecstatic journey of connection and imagination. By pretending to know and embracing the question, we explore the infinite possibilities of why we come.

The Infinite Arrival
Why do we come, you ask?
To step into the river of time
To feel the warmth of connection
To hold the light of the infinite within our hands
We come into places and faces
Into laughter, into longing
We come to taste the fruit of being
Sweet, bitter, and always real
No need for answers, only the flow
No need for purpose, only the glow
Of a life imagined, a story spun
In the infinite Now, we come

“In the grand cosmic play, we come to embrace the ecstasy of existence and bear the fruit of stories and experiences.”
In the cosmic dance, a question takes flight,
Why do we come, in the realm of light?
Pretend we may, in playful delight,

Imagination’s playground, where answers nest.
Not accidents, but beings at their best,
Imaginary purpose, in the cosmic fest.
We come to come, in joyful embrace,
Experiencing life’s myriad grace.
Feelings and emotions, in this earthly space,
Deliberate or involuntary, life’s unique trace.
Bound in limitations, we seemingly strive,
Yet in our coming, stories come alive.
Traditions, histories, ancestors, we derive,
Sweet and bitter fruits, in the stories we contrive.
Why do we come, you ask with glee,
To experience ecstasy, imaginations set free.

The playful exploration, of you and me.
