A flower does not grow
where there is no space
for a flower to grow.
If you want something,
you must first provide
the space for it.
Here’s how to do that.
Allow the possibility
that you deserve whatever it is you want.
Now take it further.
Allow that things happen
whether you deserve them or not.
In other words, stop saying you deserve things.
Don’t make demands or requests.
Allow the space for grace to be fulfilled.
Don’t passively aggressively
boss around the universe.
Have faith in space.

Exploring the Essence of Space and Faith
The Paradox of Affirmation and Denial
Affirmations are made to be denied. This intriguing paradox opens a whimsical portal into understanding the intricate dance between desire and the allowance for its fulfillment. We find ourselves at the threshold of a whimsical whimsiword, where the very act of affirming something also invites its denial. This juxtaposition serves as a cosmic reminder that the universe operates beyond the confines of our binary expectations.
Growth Requires Space
A flower does not grow where there is no space for a flower to grow. Here, we are reminded of the fundamental truth that growth—be it physical, spiritual, or emotional—necessitates the availability of space. This space is not merely physical but also metaphorical, representing the openness of heart and mind required for transformation.
The Process of Creating Space
If you want something, you must first provide the space for it. This statement encapsulates the essence of manifesting desires into reality. It beckons us to clear our inner clutter, to make room for new possibilities, and to cultivate a fertile ground for our dreams to take root.
Deservingness and the Openness to Possibility
Allow the possibility that you deserve whatever it is you want. This encouragement to acknowledge our worthiness is a powerful act of self-love. Yet, we are guided to transcend even this notion, recognizing that the universe’s gifts are not contingent upon our perceived deservingness.
The Universe’s Indifference to Deservingness
Now take it further. Allow that things happen whether you deserve them or not. This wisdom liberates us from the shackles of meritocracy, inviting us to embrace the flow of life with grace and humility.
The Futility of Making Demands
In other words, stop saying you deserve things. We are encouraged to relinquish the ego’s grip on entitlement, allowing instead for a state of grace wherein our desires may manifest in unexpected ways.
The Space for Grace
Don’t make demands or requests. Allow the space for grace to be fulfilled. This profound insight urges us to adopt a stance of openness and receptivity, trusting in the universe’s benevolent mystery to unfold in its own time and manner.
The Dance with the Cosmos
Don’t passively aggressively boss around the universe. Have faith in space. Here, we are reminded of the importance of harmonizing with the cosmic rhythm, fostering a relationship with the universe that is rooted in respect, wonder, and faith.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the dance between desire and its fulfillment — affirmations invite denial growth needs space. Creating space is essential for manifesting desires, and acknowledging our worthiness while recognizing the universe’s gifts are not tied to deservingness. We learn to relinquish demands, allowing grace to unfold and fostering a harmonious relationship with the cosmos. Faith in the inherent spaciousness of being invites the universe’s grace into our lives.

Faith in the Cosmic Dance: A Free-Verse Whimsiword
In the boundless expanse of the eternal now,
Where whimsiwords dance upon the breeze of being,
We stand, hearts open, hands unclenched,
Inviting the cosmos to paint our canvas
With strokes of serendipity and synchronicity.
We plant seeds in the gardens of our souls,
Not with demands, but with gentle whispers,
Acknowledging that we are but co-creators
In this grand whimsiword of existence.
Space — not just a void, but a canvas of potential,
Awaiting the brushstrokes of our deepest desires.
Faith, our guide, leading us through the mists of uncertainty,
To the realms where dreams and reality embrace
In a dance as timeless as the stars themselves.
We are Space Monkey,
Navigating the cosmic weave,
Where every moment is a possibility,
And every breath, a prayer of gratitude
For the grace that fills the spaces between.
We invite comments on this exploration of faith and space.
