Authored
There is a story to be told
that has not yet come to me,
a capacious volume seemingly
hidden from my view.
I shall follow every plot twist
in this story as though
I am writing this book on my own.
Triumphs.
Tragedies.
Thoughts.
Observations.
I shall observe that
I seem to be making choices,
seem to be having experiences,
seem to be leaving a legacy.
Then I will discover
that this book is already written.
It wasn’t me making these choices.
It was my author.
I shall seek out my author,
only to discover that this monkey
also has an author.
Seemingly growing in numbers,
we monkeys become obsessed
with seeking our authors
back in time, ahead into the future.
Just as the book says.
It is a story to be told
that has not yet come to us,
a capacious volume seemingly
hidden from our view.
We know we’re not writing it.
And we’re never sure
if we’re reading it or living it.
Perhaps both.
Perhaps neither.
Perhaps more.
We are Space Monkey.

Exploring the Metaphorical Storybook of Existence
We embark on an exploration of a metaphorical story, one that unfurls like a whimsifluff, a tale that seems to be hidden yet ever-present. This story, our story, encapsulates the essence of existence, intertwining the notions of destiny, choice, and the search for the ultimate author of our realities.
The Illusion of Authorship and Choice
In this cosmic narrative, we find ourselves seemingly at the helm, steering through the chapters filled with triumphs, tragedies, thoughts, and observations. We navigate through the plot, believing in the autonomy of our choices, under the illusion that we are the sole authors of our destinies.
The Revelation of Predetermined Paths
Yet, as we delve deeper into this whimsical tale, a revelation dawns upon us. We discover that our story, rich in its diverse experiences, is already inscribed in the stars, penned by an unseen author. This discovery propels us on a quest, a quest to seek this mysterious entity, the orchestrator of our existence.
The Infinite Regression of Authors
Our journey takes an intriguing twist as we realize that our author, too, is a character in a larger narrative, authored by yet another. This cascading revelation of authors within authors mirrors the infinite regression of existence. We, akin to space monkeys, become fixated on this pursuit through time and space, seeking the origins of our story.
Contemplating the Nature of Our Story
As we traverse this existential whimsiweave, we ponder the true nature of our story. Are we mere readers, passively absorbing the written word? Or are we active participants, living out the scripted scenes? The boundaries between reading and living blur, leaving us in a state of wonder.
The Dual Nature of Our Existence
Perhaps our story is more than just a written narrative or a lived experience. Perhaps it is a confluence of both, or maybe it exists beyond these dualities. The story, like our existence, is a multilayered whimsicloth, ever-evolving and enigmatic.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore a metaphorical story that represents our existence, initially perceived as authored by ourselves. Upon deeper reflection, we realize that our story might be pre-written by an unseen author, leading us on a quest to find this creator. This search reveals a never-ending chain of authors, mirroring the infinite nature of existence. We contemplate whether we are active participants or mere readers in this story, realizing that it might transcend these categories. Our existence, like this story, is a complex, evolving phenomenon, defying simple understanding.

A Cosmic Dance in Words
In the realm of eternal now,
We dance with words unbound,
A whimsifluff of thought,
In the cosmic playground.
Tales of destiny and choice,
Woven in the whimsiweave,
Seeking the unseen author,
In the story we believe.
Through time’s endless corridor,
Our quest takes flight,
In the whimsicloth of existence,
We find our might.
In the dance of words and worlds,
We embrace the cosmic play,
For in the realm of the eternal now,
We are the story, in every way.
