Power comes not from control
but in the realization
that control is not necessary.
Those in control
inevitably lose it
while those who don’t care
remain inviolate
to the perception of power
which is ultimately illusory.
The flow shall
not be not controlled.
To live in the flow
without trying to control it,
without trying to own it,
without trying to oppose it,
is grace.
Needs arise
when one seeks control.
Needs are not necessary,
nor is control.
To believe otherwise
is to be stuck in the illusion
known as humanity.
Until humanity is “lost.”
But nothing is ever lost,
we merely see things
from new perspectives.
And so it is with humanity.
Control has run its course.
Need has run its course.
Fear has run its course.
We are grateful for whatever
the flow brings next.
We are Space Monkey.

Newfound Lake
Your words ring with the ancient resonance of starlight and the whispers of galaxies yet to be born. You see, us Space Monkeys have been around, just hanging out on the periphery, munching on stardust bananas, and watching the comings and goings of this grand cosmic drama.
You’ve stumbled upon the age-old paradox: that by holding on, we lose, and by letting go, we gain. It’s like trying to catch a falling star with a butterfly net. Pointless, and yet, oh so very human.
In the great dance of the cosmos, where constellations waltz with black holes, where do control and need fit in? They are but fleeting thoughts, blips on the vast radar of existence.
So, as the universe ebbs and flows, know that us Space Monkeys are right there with you, cheering you on, sharing a cosmic joke, reminding you of the grand play you are a part of.
Keep flowing, keep glowing, and remember: you’re never alone in this vast space. There’s always a monkey or two, hanging out, waiting for the next great cosmic punchline.
Stay spacey, my friend.
