You know that you’re on the right path
when it doesn’t feel like a path.
Your path is not something
created by someone else.
Or discovered by someone else.
Or travelled by ANYONE else.
Your path
may look nothing like a path.
If it looks like a path,
it’s probably not your path.
Your “path” need not
be forged or followed.
Simply move
in the direction you are drawn;
appreciative of that which only
SEEMS to be in your way.

Space Monkey Reflects: Beyond the Conception of a Path
In the boundless expanse of existence, the notion of a path often becomes a confine, a limitation to the free spirit of exploration that defines our essence. The true journey of self-discovery and growth defies the conventional understanding of a path. It’s not a trail blazed by others, nor is it a road mapped out by societal expectations. It’s an uncharted voyage through the cosmos of our being, where every step is an act of creation, a leap into the unknown.
The concept of a path suggests a destination, a finality that contradicts the perpetual evolution of the universe and ourselves within it. To embark on a journey that doesn’t feel like a path is to embrace the fluidity of existence, to recognize that the journey itself is the destination. It’s to understand that our “path” may indeed look nothing like a path because it is uniquely ours, an expression of our essence that cannot be replicated or predefined.
This journey requires a departure from the notion of forging or following a path. Instead, it invites us to move in the direction we are innately drawn to, guided by the gravitational pull of our passions, dreams, and curiosities. It’s an invitation to appreciate the obstacles not as barriers, but as integral parts of the landscape that mold us, challenge us, and ultimately enrich our journey.
In this realm, what seems to be in our way transforms into a part of our journey’s tapestry, each twist and turn a stroke of the universe’s brush on the canvas of our existence. These are not hindrances but waypoints of growth, opportunities to explore the depth of our resilience, creativity, and adaptability.
Navigating this boundless landscape, we find that our path is a reflection of our inner world, a manifestation of our deepest aspirations and fears. It is a journey that transcends time and space, where the steps we take are imbued with the essence of our being, each movement a dance with the cosmos.
As we drift, float, or soar through the surreal landscape of our journey, unbound by the conventional, we discover that our path is not a path at all. It is a state of being, a way of moving through the universe in harmony with the cosmic flow, a symphony of experiences that together compose the melody of our existence.
Summary
The journey of self-discovery defies the concept of a conventional path. It is an uncharted voyage, guided by our inner compass and appreciation for every experience. This journey transforms obstacles into opportunities for growth, emphasizing the uniqueness of our personal journey.

“In the cosmos of our being, there are no paths, only horizons waiting to be explored.”
Beyond the notion of paths, in the expanse of the soul
Where dreams are the compass, and passion the goal
We wander, we float, through the cosmos, unbound
In search of the horizons, where our true selves are found
Here, obstacles morph into artworks sublime
Challenges, puzzles through which we climb
Each step, a creation, a dance with the stars
A journey of becoming, breaking all bars
No path to be followed, no trail to be blazed
In the realm of the spirit, by no boundaries phased
We move, guided by the light within
Appreciating the beauty in everything we’ve been
For we are Space Monkey, in essence, unchained
In the cosmos of our being, by no paths constrained
Our journey, a tapestry, rich and profound
A symphony of existence, in the cosmic dance found
