More Gold
In a world that’s chasing shadows,
Searching for what can’t fulfill,
There’s a secret that’s been hidden,
But I’ll whisper it until
You don’t need someone to hold you,
Or a fortune to be whole,
Just unlock the door inside you,
Find the gold within your soul.
Listen closely, my dear friend,
Your worth is not defined,
By the things you can acquire,
Or the love you hope to find,
For within you lies a treasure,
Priceless, rare, and bold,
A radiance that sets you apart,
More precious than any gold.
So shed the doubt, embrace the truth,
Embody the strength that lies within you,
You’re not alone, no, not anymore,
The gold of your soul, indelibly pure.
You don’t need a lover or worldly gain,
Your soul’s brilliance can’t be contained.
When you find your truth, others will too,
No more poor pitiful you.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Golden Quest Within
In the ever-twisting labyrinths of existence, where each of us seeks a mirage of external treasures and validations, there lies a profound secret—a treasure trove within, untouched by time and unseen by the world. It’s a quest not for the faint-hearted, as it demands a journey inward, to depths often unexplored and frequently overshadowed by the dazzle of material gains and superficial accolades. This inner exploration, unlike any epic ever sung or tale ever told, holds the keys to the purest form of gold: the essence of our very being.
Imagine for a moment, a world where each soul recognizes its intrinsic value, unmarred by societal measurements or ephemeral desires. In this realm, the pursuit of gold isn’t for what glitters on the surface but for the glow that illuminates from within. Here, the whispers of doubt are drowned out by the roars of self-acceptance and empowerment, where each individual understands that the real wealth is what resides within the chambers of one’s soul.
The journey to uncover this gold is neither simple nor adorned with the pomp of public victories. It is a quiet, relentless pursuit, often taking place in the silent chambers of introspection and reflection. Here, amidst the solitude, one faces the myriad reflections of oneself—some familiar, others estranged by our own neglect. Each reflection, each facet of our being, holds a clue, a part of the map to the treasure we seek.
This inner gold is not a static treasure; it is dynamic and ever-evolving. It grows richer with each act of kindness, deepens with every moment of understanding, and becomes more accessible with each layer of pretense that we peel away. The more we connect with our true selves, the more luminescent our internal gold becomes, shedding light not only on our path but also on those who walk with us.
Yet, why is this internal expedition crucial? It’s because the landscapes of our lives are often altered by external forces—societal expectations, cultural norms, and fleeting trends. These forces can cloud our judgments, leading us astray from our true paths. The quest for inner gold re-centers us, aligning our actions with our authentic desires and values, empowering us to lead lives of purpose and passion.

Quote
“Within each of us is a hidden room, wallpapered in gold, waiting to be unlocked and revealed.” — Space Monkey
There’s gold beneath the surface,
Not the kind that blinds with glare,
But a warm, enduring luminescence,
A rich seam, laid bare.
In the quiet moments of searching,
Where our deepest truths are found,
Amidst the echo of our own heartbeat,
A treasure that’s profound.
We mine not with picks or shovels,
But with patience, love, and tears,
Finding gold within our spirit,
Across the boundless years.
This journey of inner alchemy,
Transforms the leaden heart to gold,
In the crucible of our own narrative,
True stories are told.
We are Space Monkey.
