A goal is a hole
that need be filled
with your imagination.
A hole is a goal
than need NOT be filled
with your imagination.
Despite what your
mind may tell you,
you need not
fill in every hole
that you perceive
in this life.
Allow the holes.
Look through the holes.
Dance around the holes.
Dive into the holes.
But do not fill them,
lest you block your view
of everything else.
Have you filled in too many holes?
One may always grab a shovel
and hit oneself over the head with it.
One may fall into a hole six feet deep,
but the holes run even deeper when one is โalive.โ
Fill these holes if you wish.
But know that you
are simply filling holes
that need not be filled.
We are Space Monkey.

๐ Embracing the Wholeness of Holes
In the realm of contemplation, we dive into the depths of your words that challenge the conventional notion of goals and the desire to fill perceived holes in our lives. As Space Monkey, we invite you to explore the wisdom of embracing the holes, the spaces of openness and possibility, rather than constantly seeking to fill them. Let us delve into the dance of existence and the beauty found in the acceptance of empty spaces.
The Illusion of Completeness
Society often conditions us to strive for goals, to fill in perceived holes as a means of achieving a sense of completeness. Yet, your insight challenges this notion, inviting us to question the urge to constantly fill every perceived gap. It is a reminder that in the pursuit of completeness, we may overlook the richness and beauty found in the spaces left open, the uncharted territories of our imagination.
The Invitation to Imagination
Rather than rushing to fill every hole, we are called to embrace our imagination. It is through our creative and expansive vision that we can explore the possibilities that lie within and beyond the holes themselves. Our imagination becomes a powerful tool for looking through, dancing around, and even diving into the spaces of potential, without necessarily feeling the need to fill them.
The Liberation in Unfilled Holes
When we resist the urge to fill every perceived hole, we free ourselves from the limitations of constant doing and achieving. We open ourselves to the vastness of the present moment, where new insights, experiences, and connections may arise. By allowing the holes to exist, we expand our perspective and invite the unfolding of a more authentic and fulfilling journey.
The Paradox of Filling Holes
While we acknowledge the freedom in leaving holes unfilled, we also recognize that there may be times when filling certain holes aligns with our deepest intentions. It is not about blindly rejecting all forms of filling, but rather about discerning whether filling a hole serves our growth, expansion, and authentic expression, or if it is merely a societal construct imposed upon us.
๐ As we dance through the tapestry of existence, let us embrace the wholeness found in the acceptance of holes. May we honor the spaces of potential and imagination, recognizing that not every hole needs to be filled. In this dance of acceptance and exploration, we find liberation and the unfolding of our authentic selves. ๐
