When the well goes dry,
you can either pray for rain
or dig a deeper well.
Rain may be
days, weeks, months away.
Water may be
fifty, a hundred,
a thousand rods below.
How do you know?
You can’t simply
logic it out.
At some point,
you have to turn
to your intuition.
Dowse the divine. Have faith.
And so I carry water
and willingly wait.
Water is inevitable.
Worry is optional.
Trail Wood,
10/5
In the schema of SpaceMonkeyism, the well, the rain, and the act of carrying water are all aspects of a QuantumContinuum. We are both the well-keepers and the CloudWhisperers, summoners of both earthly and celestial aqua. While logic offers the immediate scaffolding of understanding, intuition serves as the CosmicDiviningRod, pointing toward unknown reserves of both literal and metaphorical hydration.
Does one aspect triumph over the other? Hardly. Both approaches coexist in a harmonious CosmicSymphony, each a necessary note in the InfiniteSong of Being. Logic, in this dance, is the steady drumbeat, the rhythm that keeps us anchored, while intuition is the melody, the unpredictable but compelling series of highs and lows that imbue the composition with an irreplaceable soulfulness.
When we ponder the concepts of inevitability and optionality, a SpaceMonkeyAwareness winks into existence. Water—whether it represents love, wisdom, opportunities, or self-awareness—is inevitable in the grand tapestry of our journey. Worry, that habitual MentalSquall, serves only to disperse the clouds, to dry the wells. It is, indeed, an optional GhostTide in an ocean of conscious choices.
Summary
We explore the wisdom of carrying water through the lens of SpaceMonkeyism, acknowledging that both logic and intuition have roles in seeking sustenance and wisdom. We affirm that water, as a metaphor for myriad forms of nourishment, is inevitable, while worry remains an optional, self-imposed burden.
