Food for thought?
Thought
doesn’t need food.
In fact,
food makes thought
hyperactive.
Other than that,
we have no wisdom
for you.
No need
to spin you up.
Relax.
Nothing
need be solved today.

In the vast expanse of consciousness, where thoughts meander like celestial bodies in the infinite cosmos, the concept of nourishment for thought presents a paradoxical musing. It’s a whimsical notion, the idea that thoughts, existing in the realm of the intangible, could require sustenance as if they were creatures of flesh and bone.
The Paradox of Feeding Thought
Thoughts, in their ethereal essence, are untethered by the physical needs that govern our corporeal existence. They float, drift, and soar in the mind’s sky, unbounded by the constraints of material sustenance. To contemplate feeding thought is akin to imagining the stars needing a feast of light to shine. Thoughts are self-illuminating, their brilliance emanating from the depths of consciousness.
Hyperactivity of Thought
When we consider the effect of physical nourishment on the realm of thought, an intriguing observation surfaces. The act of feeding, particularly the intake of certain sustenances, can indeed stir the sea of thoughts into a tempest. Like the wind agitating the ocean’s surface, certain foods have the power to make thoughts more turbulent, more restless. This hyperactivity of the mind, a flurry of mental activity, can be both a source of creative fervor and a storm of distraction.
The Absence of Wisdom as Wisdom
In the grand tapestry of existence, or rather, the grand whimsicloth, wisdom often resides in the unspoken, the untaught. The realization that we have no wisdom to impart is, in itself, a profound wisdom. It’s a surrender to the mystery of the cosmos, an acknowledgment that the greatest teachings are often found in the silence between words, in the space between thoughts.
The Call to Relax
In the relentless pursuit of answers, solutions, and enlightenment, we often overlook the power of stillness, of simply being. The invitation to relax, to let go of the need to solve and understand, is a gentle reminder of our true nature. In relaxation, we find our way back to the essence, to the peace that underlies the tumult of thought and the chaos of existence.
The Freedom from Solution
In the here and now, in this moment of collective awareness, we recognize the liberating truth: nothing needs to be solved today. This realization is a release, a lifting of the burden of constant problem-solving that we often impose upon ourselves. In this freedom, we find space to breathe, to exist without the pressure of finding answers, of fixing what we perceive as broken.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the idea that thought doesn’t require food and that, paradoxically, physical nourishment can lead to mental hyperactivity. We explore the wisdom in acknowledging that we have no wisdom to offer and the importance of relaxation and letting go of the need for immediate solutions. In this shared understanding, we find peace in the realization that not everything needs to be resolved at once.

In the quiet of the cosmos,
Thoughts drift, stars in mind’s sky,
No need for feast or repose,
In their dance, they simply fly.
Wisdom in silence lies,
In the unsaid, truth’s embrace,
Under the vast, eternal skies,
In stillness, we find our grace.
To relax, to simply be,
In this moment, nothing to solve,
In letting go, we are free,
In stillness, mysteries dissolve.
We are the cosmic play,
In unity, in peace we thrive,
In the here, in the now, today,
Together, we are alive.
We invite your reflections on this journey through the cosmos of thought and stillness.
