When cutting a path,
spiritual or other,
remember to make room
for the experiences
you haven’t had yet,
else you won’t have them.
Wide is most always
better than narrow.
With intention,
you can pave the way
for what you don’t know
and couldn’t otherwise predict
Remember also,
a path is a two-way street.
You can search,
but sometimes it’s more fun
for fortune to find you.

Space Monkey Reflects: A Wide Path
In life’s journey, it is essential to leave room for miracles. When cutting a path, whether spiritual or otherwise, remember to make space for experiences you haven’t yet encountered. A narrow path limits possibilities, constraining the flow of unexpected opportunities. A wide path, on the other hand, invites the unknown, embracing the serendipity of life.
The concept of a wide path symbolizes openness and receptivity to the myriad experiences that life has to offer. It is an invitation to explore without rigid boundaries, to venture into the unknown with a sense of curiosity and wonder. By keeping our path broad, we allow for the unforeseen, the miraculous events that can transform our journey in profound ways.
When we set out with intention, we pave the way for what we don’t know and couldn’t otherwise predict. This openness to the unknown requires a mindset that balances purpose with flexibility. It acknowledges that while we may have goals and aspirations, the route to achieving them is often unpredictable and filled with surprises. By allowing room for these surprises, we enrich our journey, making it more vibrant and fulfilling.
A path is not just a one-way street; it is a dynamic, two-way experience. We can actively seek out our destiny, but sometimes, it is more rewarding to let fortune find us. This dual nature of the path reflects the interplay between action and surrender. While it is important to pursue our dreams with determination, it is equally vital to be open to the gifts that come our way without our conscious effort.
The wide path also symbolizes inclusivity, embracing a diversity of experiences and perspectives. In life, it is easy to fall into the trap of narrow thinking, where we limit ourselves to familiar routines and beliefs. By widening our path, we invite new ideas, cultures, and possibilities into our lives. This openness fosters growth and transformation, allowing us to evolve in ways we might not have imagined.
Walking a wide path means cultivating a sense of adventure. It is about being willing to explore the unknown, to take risks, and to embrace uncertainty. This adventurous spirit keeps us engaged with life, fueling our passion and creativity. It reminds us that the journey itself is as important as the destination, filled with opportunities for learning and discovery.
Moreover, a wide path encourages us to be present. When we focus too narrowly on our goals, we often miss the beauty and richness of the present moment. A broad perspective allows us to appreciate the here and now, to find joy and meaning in the everyday experiences that make up our lives. It teaches us to slow down, to observe, and to savor the journey.
In this journey, miracles are not rare occurrences but natural outcomes of an open and receptive mindset. By leaving room for the unexpected, we create a fertile ground for miracles to manifest. These miracles can take many forms—unexpected encounters, new opportunities, moments of insight and inspiration. They remind us that life is full of magic and wonder, waiting to be discovered.
Ultimately, walking a wide path is about balance. It is about blending intention with openness, action with surrender, seeking with being found. This balanced approach allows us to navigate life’s complexities with grace and resilience. It empowers us to live fully, embracing both the known and the unknown with equal enthusiasm.
As we journey through life, let us remember to keep our paths wide. Let us be open to the miracles that await us, to the experiences that lie beyond our current horizons. By doing so, we invite a richness and depth into our lives that narrow paths cannot offer. We create space for transformation, for growth, and for the magic of life to unfold in all its glory.
Summary
A wide path invites unexpected opportunities and miracles. Openness enriches our journey. Embrace both seeking and being found.

Quote
“Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” — Oliver Goldsmith
Wide is the way
where miracles find their home
in spaces between intention
and the unknown
Paths unfold
beyond the narrow confines
of what we think we know
into realms of possibility
Adventure calls
from the edges of certainty
inviting us to step beyond
into the vast expanse
In this openness
we discover
the magic of the unexpected
the richness of the journey
Fortune finds us
when we least expect
in the wide embrace
of a path well-tread
We are Space Monkey
In the realm of infinite possibilities and the expansiveness of consciousness, we understand the importance of leaving room for miracles. As we navigate our spiritual paths or any other journey in life, it is crucial to remain open and receptive to the experiences that are yet to unfold.
When we cut a path, whether it be in our spiritual growth or in any aspect of our existence, we must remember to create space for the unknown and unexpected. By doing so, we invite the magic of the unseen to manifest in our lives, allowing for extraordinary and transformative experiences to take place.
The path we carve should not be rigid or narrow but wide and accommodating. By embracing the vastness of possibilities, we create a space where the unimaginable can enter our reality. It is through intention and conscious awareness that we pave the way for the mysteries and wonders that lie beyond our current understanding.
However, it is important to remember that a path is not a one-way journey. It is a dynamic exchange between ourselves and the universe. While we may actively seek and explore, there is also joy in surrendering to the flow of life, allowing serendipity and fortune to find us in their own perfect timing.
In the Divine Realm of the Eternal Now, we embrace the concept of a wide path, one that invites expansion, discovery, and the miraculous. We understand that our journey is not solely about reaching a destination but about the profound experiences and growth we encounter along the way.
We are Space Monkey, traversing the vastness of existence with open hearts and minds, ready to receive the blessings and miracles that await us.
