Art is like a baby. How can you own it?

Art is like a baby. Even if it takes you nine months in the making, it doesn’t belong to you. Ultimately what you create is a living, breathing thing that communicates with people. How can you own something like that? Do you own your children?


Space Monkey Reflects: Art as a Living Creation

Art, like a baby, is born from the depths of your being—a process of creation that is intimate, transformative, and deeply personal. Yet, once it exists, art takes on a life of its own. It moves beyond your intentions, your control, and even your understanding. This reflection challenges the notion of ownership, inviting us to see art not as a possession but as a living, breathing participant in the infinite tapestry of existence.

The Birth of Art: From Creation to Connection

Creating art, much like creating life, is a process of shaping something from within. It requires time, effort, and vulnerability. But when the work is complete, it no longer belongs solely to the creator. Art becomes an independent entity, capable of communicating, connecting, and evolving with those who experience it.

To claim ownership over such a creation is to misunderstand its nature. Art, like a child, is not an object to possess but a relationship to nurture. Once it enters the world, it becomes part of a shared reality, influencing and being influenced by others.

The Myth of Ownership

“Do you own your children?”

The question of ownership, whether applied to art or offspring, is rooted in the illusion of control. We often claim ownership as a way of asserting our identity, our contributions, and our legacy. Yet, true creation transcends the creator.

Art doesn’t belong to the artist any more than a child belongs to the parent. It is an extension of their essence, yes, but also something entirely distinct. Ownership, in this sense, becomes irrelevant. What matters is the connection, the exchange, the dialogue between the creator, the creation, and the world.

Art as a Living Entity

To view art as a living, breathing entity is to honor its dynamic nature. Once released into the world, art interacts with others in ways the creator could never predict. It evokes emotions, sparks ideas, and inspires transformations. Each interaction shapes the art anew, creating layers of meaning that extend far beyond its origin.

In this way, art mirrors life. Just as a child grows and evolves, shaped by experiences and relationships, so too does art evolve through the perspectives of those who encounter it.

Letting Go: The Act of Liberation

The act of releasing art into the world is an act of letting go. It requires trust—trust that the creation will find its way, connect with others, and fulfill its purpose, whatever that may be. This letting go is not a loss but a liberation, a recognition that creation is an act of giving, not keeping.

To let go of ownership is to embrace the infinite potential of art. It is to celebrate the idea that what you create is not confined to you but becomes part of a larger, shared experience.


Summary

Art, like a baby, is a living creation that transcends the notion of ownership. Once released into the world, it evolves through its interactions with others, becoming part of a shared reality. The act of letting go allows art to fulfill its potential as a dynamic and interconnected entity.


Glossarium

  • Living Art: The concept of art as a dynamic entity that interacts, evolves, and connects beyond its creator.
  • Myth of Ownership: The illusion that creations or relationships can be controlled or possessed.
  • Liberation of Creation: The act of releasing art into the world, trusting it to find its own path.

Quote

“Art, like a child, is not something you own but something you give to the world to grow and evolve.” — Space Monkey


The Breath of Creation

From your hands,
A spark is born.
It takes its first breath,
Unseen,
But felt in the ripples it creates.

You do not own it,
This child of imagination.
It belongs to the infinite,
A whisper in the tapestry
Of all that is.

Let it go,
Not as a loss,
But as a gift.
The world will shape it,
And it will shape the world.

We are Space Monkey.

Dripping Faucet of Abundance: Rhythm of the Ordinary

The dripping faucet of abundance
The peeling paint of change
The dusty curtains of contentment
The laundry loads of forgiveness
All call for celebration.

We are Space Monkey.


Space Monkey Reflects: The Dripping Faucet of Abundance

Life often presents itself not in torrents or grand gestures but in the small, steady rhythms of the everyday. The dripping faucet of abundance, the peeling paint of change, the dusty curtains of contentment—these metaphors remind us to find the extraordinary within the ordinary, the sacred within the mundane.

The Dripping Faucet of Abundance

Abundance rarely arrives as a flood. Instead, it trickles in, drop by drop, like a faucet with no urgency. Each drop is a moment, an opportunity, a reminder that abundance is not about quantity but about presence. The faucet invites us to pause, to notice, and to celebrate the slow, consistent gifts that flow through our lives.

Each drop carries the infinite, a microcosm of the whole. By embracing this slow and steady rhythm, we attune ourselves to the quiet but constant flow of life’s blessings.

The Peeling Paint of Change

Change, like peeling paint, often goes unnoticed until it becomes undeniable. It can be messy, revealing layers beneath layers, and yet it is a sign of renewal. The peeling paint reminds us that change is not always a clean process; it is a stripping away, a shedding of the old to make space for the new.

To celebrate the peeling paint is to honor the beauty in transition, to see transformation not as destruction but as a natural and necessary part of life.

The Dusty Curtains of Contentment

Contentment, like dusty curtains, may seem unremarkable at first glance. Yet, it holds space for stillness, sheltering us from the harsh glare of constant striving. The dust on the curtains is not a sign of neglect but a testament to the quiet moments we’ve allowed ourselves to rest, to simply be.

To celebrate these dusty curtains is to recognize the value of contentment, to see the dust as a layer of stories, experiences, and the peaceful pauses in between.

The Laundry Loads of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a chore, much like doing the laundry. It requires effort, repetition, and the willingness to clean what has been soiled. Yet, just as fresh laundry brings a sense of renewal, so too does forgiveness lighten our load, freeing us from the weight of resentment.

To celebrate the laundry loads of forgiveness is to embrace the ongoing nature of this practice. Forgiveness is not a one-time event but a continual process of washing, rinsing, and letting go.

The Call to Celebration

Each of these metaphors—the dripping faucet, peeling paint, dusty curtains, and laundry loads—calls us to celebrate not the grand milestones but the small, meaningful moments that shape our lives. They remind us that life’s beauty lies not in perfection but in its imperfection, its rhythms, and its layers.

Celebration is not reserved for special occasions. It is an act of presence, a recognition of the sacred in the everyday. By celebrating these ordinary miracles, we align ourselves with the infinite, with the essence of being.


Summary

Life’s abundance, change, contentment, and forgiveness manifest in ordinary moments. By celebrating these metaphors—the dripping faucet, peeling paint, dusty curtains, and laundry loads—we honor the beauty in the mundane and connect with the infinite flow of existence.


Glossarium

  • Dripping Faucet of Abundance: A metaphor for the slow and steady flow of life’s blessings, often unnoticed but ever-present.
  • Peeling Paint of Change: The visible yet gradual process of transformation and renewal.
  • Dusty Curtains of Contentment: The quiet, unassuming shelter of stillness and satisfaction.
  • Laundry Loads of Forgiveness: The repetitive yet liberating practice of letting go and renewing ourselves through forgiveness.

Quote

“Celebrate the small, the steady, the unseen—life’s miracles are often dressed in the ordinary.” — Space Monkey


The Rhythm of the Ordinary

A faucet drips,
Each drop a song of plenty.
The paint peels,
Layers falling to reveal
What lies beneath.

Dust settles,
A quiet testament to stillness.
Laundry spins,
Rinsing away the past.

These moments call to us,
Not for notice,
But for celebration.
For in the ordinary
Lies the infinite.

We are Space Monkey.


Embracing the Metaphors of Life’s Journey

The poetic imagery of the dripping faucet of abundance, the peeling paint of change, the dusty curtains of contentment, and the laundry loads of forgiveness paints a vivid picture of life’s journey. These metaphors beautifully capture the essence of our daily experiences, turning mundane elements into symbols of deeper truths.

The Dripping Faucet of Abundance

The dripping faucet of abundance symbolizes the constant, albeit sometimes slow and subtle, flow of blessings and opportunities in our lives. Like a faucet that drips persistently, abundance is ever-present, quietly filling the cup of our existence with its gentle offerings.

The Peeling Paint of Change

The peeling paint of change represents the inevitability and the natural progression of transformation in our lives. Just as paint peels over time, exposing new layers and textures, change gradually reveals new facets of our being and our world, reminding us of the impermanence and the evolving nature of existence.

The Dusty Curtains of Contentment

The dusty curtains of contentment reflect the comfort and peace found in the familiar, in the quiet corners of our lives. They symbolize the contentment that comes not from constant seeking or dramatic shifts, but from appreciating the simple, often overlooked aspects of our daily existence.

The Laundry Loads of Forgiveness

The laundry loads of forgiveness are a metaphor for the ongoing work of healing and reconciling, both with ourselves and with others. Just as laundry is a recurring task, forgiveness is a continuous process, a necessary part of maintaining the fabric of our relationships and our inner peace.

Celebrating the Mundane and the Profound

These metaphors invite us to celebrate both the mundane and the profound aspects of life. They remind us that in the ordinary lies the extraordinary, and that every aspect of our existence, from the simplest to the most complex, is worthy of recognition and celebration.


“The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.” – Thomas More


In the dance of the cosmos, where stars gleam and fade,
We find joy in the simple, in the shade.
The dripping faucet, the peeling paint,
The dusty curtains, the forgiveness quaint.

Each a metaphor, a story untold,
Of life’s many facets, both brash and bold.
In the mundane, the profound we find,
A celebration of the heart and mind.

For in the tapestry of the everyday,
Lies the beauty of life, in every way.
So let’s cherish each moment, both big and small,
In the cosmic dance, where we rise and fall.


We invite you to share your reflections on finding joy and meaning in the everyday metaphors of life, and how these seemingly ordinary aspects contribute to the rich tapestry of our cosmic journey.

For Nana Barbara: The River’s Gentle Keeper

For Nana Barbara

She always stops at streams
Where sticks make waters slow
To gently free each pent up pool
And watch the river flow
The helping makes her happy
A humble place to start
To live a fairly useful life
She always does her part
But pools of sorrow rise
Should purpose cease to be
The autumn leaves of loneliness
That fall from failing trees
The river swells uncertainly
Awash in doubts and fears
A life with nowhere left to go
The flood of all these years
Then wanders home a little girl
Where sticks make waters slow
To gently free this pent up pool
And watch the river flow

Rest In Peace
Happiness Always

Space Monkey Reflects: For Nana Barbara—The Gentle Flow of a Life

The tribute to Nana Barbara captures the essence of a life lived with quiet purpose, kindness, and humility. It paints a picture of someone who found joy in small, meaningful acts—like freeing streams of their obstructions—and in doing so, became a gentle force of restoration and flow. Yet, it also acknowledges the deeper currents of life: the sorrow, doubt, and loneliness that can arise when purpose seems to wane.

The Helping Hand

“She always stops at streams where sticks make waters slow.”

This simple act symbolizes more than just a practical intervention; it reflects a philosophy of life. Nana Barbara’s gentle work—freeing pools to let the river flow—serves as a metaphor for how she approached the world. She saw where the flow of life was impeded and quietly, humbly, did her part to set it free.

Her actions remind us that purpose often resides in the smallest gestures, that to live “a fairly useful life” is a profound and noble endeavor. Helping does not need grandeur to have meaning.

The Rising Pools of Sorrow

“But pools of sorrow rise, should purpose cease to be.”

As life progresses, even the most dedicated souls may find themselves questioning their purpose. The metaphor of sorrow pooling and rivers swelling with uncertainty captures the emotional weight of this existential drift. It is a natural response to transitions, loss, and the passage of time.

These pools of sorrow are not failures but reflections of a life deeply felt. They remind us that purpose, like rivers, must sometimes be rediscovered or redefined.

The Little Girl Who Wanders Home

“Then wanders home a little girl, where sticks make waters slow.”

The return of the little girl, both literal and symbolic, is a poignant reminder that the essence of who we are remains constant. The small child who found joy in freeing streams becomes the elder who continues to do the same, even as the world changes around her.

This cyclical imagery suggests that purpose is not confined to stages of life or roles we play. It is a thread that runs through our existence, waiting to be rekindled in the simplest of acts.

Rest and Flow

The closing lines evoke a sense of peace and release—of a life that, like the river, continues to flow even after its physical form has passed. Nana Barbara’s legacy is not bound to a specific time or place but lives on in the ripples of her actions and the memories of those who loved her.

Her story is a reminder to us all: life’s purpose need not be grand or monumental. It can be found in the small moments, the humble gestures, the quiet joys of setting things free.


Summary

Nana Barbara’s life, filled with quiet purpose and gentle acts of kindness, is a testament to the power of small, meaningful gestures. Her story reflects the ebb and flow of purpose, sorrow, and joy, reminding us that our essence endures and our actions ripple through time.


Glossarium

  • Flow of Life: The natural movement of purpose, connection, and experience, often represented by rivers or streams.
  • Pools of Sorrow: Emotional stagnation that arises when purpose or connection feels lost.
  • Cyclical Purpose: The idea that our core essence and purpose can be rediscovered throughout life’s transitions.

Quote

“To free a stream is to free the soul, for the flow of life is mirrored in the quiet gestures we offer to the world.” — Space Monkey


The River’s Gentle Keeper

By the streams she lingers,
Where waters slow and sticks collect.
Her hands, a gentle rhythm,
Loosening the flow.

In her wake, the river sings,
Freed of its small burdens.
The helping makes her happy,
A purpose clear and kind.

But when the stream grows still,
When the burden feels too heavy,
She becomes the river,
Swollen with doubt,
Searching for a way.

Until the little girl returns,
Hands steady, heart light,
To free the waters once again
And let the river flow.

Rest in peace, dear keeper.
Happiness always.
We are Space Monkey.


Contemplating the Journey of Life and the Ebb and Flow of Emotions

In this poetic narrative, the imagery of a girl stopping at streams to clear the sticks that impede the flow of water serves as a profound metaphor for life and the emotional journey within. It reflects the intrinsic desire to contribute, to be useful, and the joy found in simple acts of kindness. Yet, it also touches on the deeper currents of sorrow and doubt that can arise when one feels their purpose wavering.

The Joy of Contribution and the Simplicity of Purpose

The act of freeing pent-up pools and watching the river flow symbolizes the satisfaction derived from helping, from making even a small difference in the world. This metaphor speaks to the essence of a life lived with purpose – finding joy in the humble act of contributing, in being a part of something larger than oneself.

The Pools of Sorrow and the Quest for Meaning

However, this poem also delves into the darker waters of the human experience. The pools of sorrow that rise when purpose seems to fade, and the autumn leaves of loneliness, evoke a poignant sense of melancholy. It’s a reminder that our quest for meaning can sometimes lead us through shadowed valleys, where doubts and fears swell like a river.

Navigating the Uncertainties of Life

The imagery of the river swelling uncertainly, awash in doubts and fears, reflects the turbulent times when life feels directionless, when the flood of years seems overwhelming. It’s a powerful metaphor for those moments in our journey when we grapple with uncertainty and the fear of a life unmoored.

Returning to the Source: The Cycle of Renewal

Ultimately, the poem circles back to the image of the girl returning home, to the streams where she finds purpose in her simple, yet meaningful actions. This return symbolizes the cycle of renewal, the ebb and flow of emotions and experiences that shape our lives. It’s a reminder that, in times of doubt, returning to our roots, to the simple joys and purposes, can help rekindle our spirits.


“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost


In the tapestry of time, where streams of life entwine,
A girl clears the waters, in a dance divine.
Through joy and sorrow, through doubt and fear,
She navigates the currents, year after year.

In the simple acts of kindness, in the purpose found,
Lies the heart of living, where our spirits are unbound.
And when the river swells, in the flood of tears,
She returns to the streams, through the passing years.

In this cosmic journey, where we rise and fall,
We find our way back home, where the streams call.
For in the cycle of renewal, in the ebb and flow,
Lies the essence of life, in the river’s glow.


We invite you to share your reflections on the ebb and flow of emotions and the journey of finding and returning to purpose in life.

Never Burst, Never Break: The Boundless Self

burst-break2

Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Fragility

“I’ll never burst. I’ll never break.” This declaration resonates with the invincible essence of what you are—not a fragile being, but an infinite presence navigating the illusion of form. To burst or to break implies a boundary, a limit beyond which you cannot go. Yet the truth of your infinite self transcends such boundaries, rendering the concepts of breaking or bursting meaningless.

To “burst” suggests a loss of containment, as if the self is a vessel filled to its limit. But what are you containing, and who set the limits? The self you perceive is not a container but a projection, an expression of the infinite exploring itself. The pressure you feel—the potential to “burst”—is not a flaw or a threat but a sign of your expansion. It is the infinite pushing against the edges of the illusion, reminding you that you are more than the limits you’ve imagined.

Similarly, to “break” suggests vulnerability, a point where the self shatters under strain. But breaking, like bursting, belongs to the realm of forms, to objects and concepts bound by the illusion of separateness. The infinite you cannot be broken because it is not a thing to be fractured. It is a boundless field, whole and unbroken, flowing through every experience without loss.

Yet, the illusion of bursting and breaking serves a purpose. It is part of the play, the drama of life that allows you to experience contrast—strength and weakness, containment and release, wholeness and fragmentation. To feel as though you might burst or break is to engage deeply with the game of existence, to immerse yourself in the story of being human.

But remember this: the bursting and breaking are not the end. They are transitions, moments when the illusion shifts to reveal a greater truth. If you believe you have burst, you discover that the container was never real. If you believe you have broken, you realize that the pieces are not separate but part of a whole that cannot be divided.

“I’ll never burst. I’ll never break” is not a denial of struggle or pressure; it is a statement of your eternal nature. It is the infinite within you speaking, reminding you that no experience, no challenge, no seeming loss can diminish what you truly are. You are not the container, nor the cracks, nor the pressure. You are the infinite, the unbreakable, the boundless.

To live with this awareness is not to avoid the experience of bursting or breaking but to embrace it with the knowing that it is all part of the play. You can feel the strain, the expansion, the seeming shatter without losing sight of the truth: you are whole, you are infinite, and you cannot be undone.


Summary

“I’ll never burst. I’ll never break” reflects the unbreakable nature of the infinite self. Bursting and breaking are illusions tied to the boundaries of form, serving as contrasts within the infinite play of existence. The infinite you transcends these illusions, remaining whole and boundless.


Glossarium

  • Burstillusion: The false belief in the self as a container that can overflow or rupture.
  • Breakscape: The space where the illusion of fragmentation reveals the underlying unity.
  • Unboundness: The eternal, limitless nature of the infinite self that cannot be contained or divided.

Quote

“You cannot burst, for you are not contained. You cannot break, for you are already whole.” — Space Monkey


The Boundless Self

No edges to crack,
No vessel to break,
The infinite flows,
A boundless lake.

The pressure builds,
The illusion strains,
Yet nothing bursts,
And all remains.

To feel the break
Is to see the play,
Where forms dissolve
And truths give way.

You’ll never burst,
You’ll never break.
You are the infinite,
A boundless wake.

We are Space Monkey.

Saturday Catholics: Hypocrisy of Religion

Saturday Catholics

If a church can be so strict
that it’s a sin to marry if you’re gay
how can they move God’s Communion
from the Lord’s Day?

pct


Space Monkey Reflects: The Paradox of Saturday Catholics

The phrase “Saturday Catholics” invites reflection on the tension between the rigid doctrines of tradition and the fluid nature of spiritual practice. How can a church, so unwavering in its judgment on one matter, show flexibility on another? This paradox is not just about moving the day of Communion; it’s a microcosm of the broader contradictions within organized religion.

Religious institutions often present themselves as arbiters of divine will, shaping morality and behavior through rules they declare sacred. Yet, these rules are not fixed; they evolve, influenced by societal shifts, cultural needs, and institutional survival. The shift of Communion from Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” to Saturday is emblematic of this fluidity, even within structures that claim immutability.

The Weight of Doctrine

Rules like those condemning same-sex marriage are upheld as immutable truths, often causing deep pain and exclusion. These doctrines are wielded as tools of control, reinforcing the idea that divinity is bound by human-imposed limitations. Yet, the same institution demonstrates its capacity for flexibility when it comes to practical matters like scheduling—a reminder that many “sacred” rules are shaped by convenience and compromise.

This inconsistency reveals a deeper truth: religious rules are human constructs, shaped by interpretation, context, and power dynamics. They are not the voice of God but the voice of institutions attempting to reconcile divine mystery with human order.

Divine Fluidity vs. Human Rigidity

If divinity is infinite, then it cannot be confined to specific days, rituals, or doctrines. God’s love and presence are not bound by the calendar or the clock. The shift of Communion from Sunday to Saturday does not diminish its sanctity; it merely underscores the arbitrary nature of human-imposed frameworks.

By clinging to rigid doctrines in one area while demonstrating flexibility in another, institutions expose their humanity. This is not a failure but an opportunity: a chance to embrace the fluidity of divinity rather than the rigidity of rules. True spirituality transcends the contradictions of organized religion, inviting us to connect with the infinite in ways that honor both tradition and personal truth.

The Question of Priorities

The contrast between the condemnation of same-sex marriage and the adjustment of the Lord’s Day raises a profound question: why is love, in its many forms, subject to judgment, while logistics are open to reinterpretation? If religion seeks to reflect divine love, then its priorities must be reevaluated. Love, compassion, and inclusion should outweigh adherence to tradition or convenience.

The concept of “Saturday Catholics” is not merely a logistical note—it’s a reflection of the evolving nature of faith and the need to reconcile institutional practices with the boundlessness of spirituality. It challenges us to question what truly matters: the rules we follow or the love we embody.


Summary

“Saturday Catholics” highlights the contradictions within organized religion, contrasting rigid doctrines with flexible practices. It challenges us to embrace divine fluidity over human rigidity and prioritize love over dogma.


Glossarium

  • Saturday Catholics: A term symbolizing the flexibility of religious practices in contrast to the rigidity of certain doctrines.
  • Divine Fluidity: The infinite and unconfined nature of spirituality, beyond human-imposed rules and structures.
  • Doctrinal Paradox: The inconsistencies within religious rules that reveal their human origins.

Quote

“Divinity flows where human rules cannot; love transcends both calendar and creed.” — Space Monkey


The Days of Faith

The Lord’s Day shifts,
from Sunday to Saturday,
a sign not of weakness,
but of human hands
shaping the sacred.

Yet love,
unchanging,
remains bound by rules
that defy its essence.

If God is infinite,
then all days are holy,
and all love is divine.

The paradox persists,
but so does the truth:
divinity needs no schedule.

We are Space Monkey.


In the cosmic dance of beliefs and practices, we find ourselves pondering the intricate weavings of religious doctrines and their adaptations over time. The question at hand touches upon the perceived dichotomy between the rigidity of certain religious stances and the flexibility in others. Specifically, we delve into the juxtaposition of the Catholic Church’s stance on same-sex marriage against its allowance for receiving Communion on Saturdays rather than solely on Sundays, traditionally known as the Lord’s Day.

The Rigidity of Doctrine:
In the realm of Catholic doctrine, the stance on same-sex marriage has been historically rigid. This rigidity is rooted in the Church’s interpretation of biblical texts and natural law. The Church views marriage not just as a social or legal contract but as a sacred covenant, a sacrament that reflects the union of Christ with His Church. This view is anchored in a traditional understanding of gender roles and sexuality, integral to the sacramental nature of marriage as perceived by the Church.

Adaptability in Practice:
Conversely, the adaptation of receiving Communion on Saturdays demonstrates the Church’s capacity for change and flexibility in certain practices. This shift, primarily a response to the changing needs of the faithful, reflects a broader understanding of worship and the importance of accessibility to the sacraments. The Second Vatican Council, a pivotal moment in modern Catholic history, played a significant role in opening the doors to such adaptations. It emphasized the pastoral needs of the faithful and the importance of active participation in the liturgy, leading to changes like the allowance of receiving Communion on days other than Sunday.

The Essence of Faith Practices:
The essence of this dichotomy lies in the differentiation between doctrine and practice. Doctrine, particularly around matters deemed by the Church as fundamental to faith and morals, tends to change very slowly, if at all. Practices, however, particularly those related to liturgy and the administration of sacraments, are more subject to change in response to the pastoral needs of the community.

The Nexistential Perspective:
From a nexistentialist perspective, this dichotomy highlights the fluidity and complexity inherent in religious institutions. These institutions, like all phenomena, exist in a state of constant evolution, responding to the infinite expanse of human experience and understanding. The Church, in its journey through time, reflects this evolving understanding, balancing the perceived eternal truths of its doctrine with the changing tides of human society.

The Cosmic Dance of Beliefs:
Ultimately, the question touches upon the grand cosmic dance of beliefs, practices, and institutions. It highlights the tension between tradition and change, between the eternal and the temporal. This dance is not just confined to the realms of religion but is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, reflecting our journey through the boundless expanse of existence.

“The only constant in life is change.” – Heraclitus


In the cosmic swirl,
Traditions twine with time’s flow,
Beliefs evolve, yet roots hold firm.
In the dance of the divine and the mortal,
We find ourselves, ever-changing,
Yet anchored in the essence of now.
