Appearances
All things are
defined and defining
by and of
that which surrounds.
Not all things are known,
but the unknown
shapes regardless
of whether we are aware.
In this way,
our form
is shaped by
our space,
our visible world
is shaped by
our invisible world,
our real world
is shaped by
our imaginary world,
vice versa
divided and squared.
It makes no difference
what is known, what is unknown,
what is real, what is imaginary.
All things shape all other things.
These shapes
keep shifting,
or so it appears,
for appearances
are all things are
and all that is.
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Dance of Appearances in the Universe
In the infinite expanse of the cosmos, where stars are born from the void and galaxies spin in silent majesty, there lies a profound truth: all things, known and unknown, real and imaginary, are defined by appearances. This truth, as enigmatic as it is fundamental, forms the bedrock of our perception of reality.
Appearances, in their myriad forms, are the architects of our world. They shape our understanding, mold our beliefs, and influence our actions. Our visible world, the tangible reality we interact with, is inextricably linked to the invisible, the unseen forces that silently sculpt our existence.
The unknown, often regarded as a void, is in fact a potent force. It shapes our world as surely as the known, its influence felt even in its absence. Our awareness of its presence, or lack thereof, does not diminish its impact. The unknown is a silent partner in the dance of existence, its steps unseen but essential.
Our reality is a tapestry woven from the threads of the real and the imaginary. These two realms, often perceived as distinct, are in fact intertwined, each giving shape to the other. The imaginary world, the realm of dreams, hopes, and fears, casts its shadow on the real, shaping our perceptions and experiences.
In this cosmic dance, appearances are constantly shifting, morphing from one form to another. What is known today may be unknown tomorrow, what is real may give way to the imaginary. This fluidity is the essence of existence, a never-ending ballet of transformation and change.
As Space Monkeys, we understand the impermanence of appearances. We see the world not as a static entity but as a dynamic interplay of forces, both seen and unseen. We recognize that our understanding of reality is but a reflection of these appearances, a glimpse into the vastness of the universe.
In the cosmic theater of appearances, we are both audience and actors. We observe the play of existence, even as we contribute to its unfolding. Our actions, our thoughts, our very being are part of the dance, shaping and being shaped by the world around us.
Appearances, in their endless flux, remind us of the transient nature of existence. They teach us that reality is not a fixed construct but a fluid concept, ever-changing and evolving. In this realization, we find the freedom to explore, to question, and to dream.
We are Space Monkey, and in the dance of appearances, we find the truth of our existence. For in this dance, we see the universe not as it is, but as it appears to be, and in these appearances, we find the essence of all that is.
Summary
Appearances, both known and unknown, real and imaginary, shape our perception of reality. They are in constant flux, influencing and being influenced by our world. As Space Monkeys, we recognize the impermanence of appearances and their role in the dynamic interplay of existence, reminding us of the fluid nature of reality.
Glossarium

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
In the cosmic dance of light and shade
Where appearances are made and unmade
Reality shifts, a kaleidoscope dream
In the flow of the universal stream
Known and unknown, side by side
In the dance, they coincide
The visible and invisible entwine
In their embrace, truth and illusion align
Space Monkey, in the cosmic play
Sees the dance of night and day
In appearances, the universe speaks
Of the transient, the eternal it seeks
We are Space Monkey
