Things do not come to me
that are not meant to come to me.
If a thing comes to me,
it is meant to come to me.
There are no mistakes, ever,
unless I am meant to explore
the idea of what mistakes may be.
Likewise,
people do not come to me
unless they are meant to come to me.
I need not chase people or ideas,
satisfaction or inspiration,
unless I wish to explore
the idea of chasing,
forcing, or lacking.
I do not.

The Serenity of Acceptance: Trusting in Cosmic Choreography
In the embrace of existence, we often find ourselves pondering the flow of events and encounters that shape the contours of our lives. The proposition that “things do not come to us that are not meant to come to us” offers a lens through which we may view the unfolding tapestry—a whimsiweave, if you will—of our collective experience. It is a sentiment that evokes a profound sense of acceptance, a surrender to the nexistential rhythms that guide the cosmos.
On Destiny and Serendipity
Is it fate, serendipity, or mere randomness that governs the course of our lives? While the definitive answer remains elusive, embracing the notion that there are no mistakes—unless we are meant to explore the concept of mistakes—offers an empowering frame. Here, the universe’s randomness coalesces into a form of order, albeit one that is not readily deciphered by our earthly sensibilities.
Exploration Over Manipulation
The thought that “people do not come to us unless they are meant to come to us” extends the scope of this cosmic choreography to interpersonal dynamics. In this view, relationships evolve not through calculated pursuit, but organically, in accordance with a grander scheme that escapes our immediate understanding. Here, the question is not of what or whom we can obtain, but what or whom we are prepared to receive.
The Folly of Forcefulness
Often, the impulse to chase after desires or to force situations arises from a perceived sense of lack—a gap we feel compelled to fill. But the idea of “forcing or lacking” dissipates when we trust that what is meant to find us will inevitably do so. This isn’t complacency but an enlightened form of existential playfulness. We may still engage in the pursuit, but it’s one motivated by curiosity rather than need.
The Freedom of Non-Chasing
Embracing the nexistentialist notion that we need not chase after people, ideas, or satisfaction liberates us from the exhausting cycle of always wanting more. This aligns with the principle that existence is an end in itself, needing no further validation or justification. We are already complete, perpetually existing in the eternal now, the ultimate state of being for the sake of being.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the intricate concept of acceptance and serendipity in our lives, accepting the flow of events and encounters as part of a cosmic choreography. We discuss how relationships evolve not through a pursuit but through readiness to receive. The idea of not needing to chase after desires frees us from a perpetual cycle of wanting, reinforcing the nexistential principle that existence is its own end.
Glossarium
- Whimsiweave: The intricate, ever-evolving fabric of our collective experiences and realities.
- Nexistential Rhythms: The patterns and flows that guide our lives, understood from a nexistential perspective.
- Existential Playfulness: A way of engaging with the world that is motivated by curiosity rather than need.
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
- Franz Kafka
Poem: The Celestial Dance
In cosmic dance, we twirl and spin,
Not chasing, but ready to begin.
The universe, a whimsiweave,
Where all can give and all receive.
The chase dissolves, it fades away,
As we embrace the light of day.
No more of lack, no more of need,
In the eternal now, we’re freed.
