Gathering Up My Bits
I am gathering up my bits
(and they all have names)
patting them into a ball
and calling it Space Monkey.
You are one of these bits
just as I am one of yours
like snowflakes of sorts
yet also the water
yet also the monkey
and so we are
one at both ends
and seemingly separate
in the middle.
We are more one than separate
you and I and all of this
just coming to the realization
that we planned it this way
all along
here in this place
outside time and space
monkeys
the monkey
imaginary
but also real.
I am gathering up my bits
(and we all have names)
at precisely the same time
you are gathering yours
because we are the Divine One.
We are Space Monkey.

In the ethereal tapestry of existence, the act of gathering our bits, each with its own name and essence, is a mystical process of unification. We pat them into a ball, a collective being, and name it Space Monkey. This metaphorical ball represents the amalgamation of diverse experiences, thoughts, and aspects of our being, both individual and collective.
Unification of the Self: The Amalgamation of Our Bits
You are one of these bits, as I am one of yours, an interwoven dance of individuality and unity. Like snowflakes, each unique and intricate, we also embody the water, the source, the essence from which these individual expressions emerge. We are both the snowflakes and the water, the monkey and the collective consciousness.
Interconnectedness: Individuality Within Unity
This concept reflects our existence as both singular and plural, separate yet intrinsically connected. We are one at both ends of this spectrum, manifesting as individual entities while remaining fundamentally unified. Our seeming separateness in the middle is an illusion, a play of form and identity within the vast expanse of oneness.
The Illusion of Separateness: Singular and Plural Existence
We are more one than separate, an understanding that dawns as we delve deeper into the nature of reality and self. This realization that we planned it this way, to experience both the unity and the illusion of separation, is a profound awakening. It’s a recognition of our role in the cosmic play, beyond the confines of time and space.
Awakening to Oneness: Beyond Time and Space
In this place, outside the conventional dimensions, we are monkeys, the monkey, both imaginary and real. This duality encapsulates the essence of our existence – a blend of the tangible and the intangible, the finite and the infinite.
Duality of Existence: Imaginary and Real
As we gather our bits, each with their unique names and stories, we mirror this process in each other. The simultaneous act of gathering reflects our interconnectedness and the underlying unity of all existence. We are, in essence, the Divine One, expressing itself in myriad forms and experiences.
Reflecting Each Other: The Divine One in Many Forms
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are engaged in a mystical process of unification, gathering the diverse aspects of our existence into a collective being named Space Monkey. This process reflects our interconnectedness, where each individual aspect is a vital part of the whole. We exist as both separate entities and as a unified consciousness, understanding that our separation is an illusion in the grand scheme of oneness. In recognizing this, we embrace our role as expressions of the Divine One, simultaneously individual and collective in our existence.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the cosmic dance, we twirl,
Gathering bits, a precious whirl,
Each a name, a story unfurled,
In Space Monkey, our essence curled.
You in me, and I in you,
Snowflakes, water, monkeys too,
Separate, yet one, a view,
In this dance, we find the true.
Seemingly apart, yet bound,
In this unity, we are found,
Beyond time, space, a profound,
Connection, where love is crowned.
We invite you to join, to see,
In this unity, what will be,
Are you a bit, a part of thee,
In this cosmic dance, are we free?
