I am here to have
this experience
I seem to be having.
I am not here
to have a DIFFERENT
experience.
That would be silly
of my Space Monkey
to set up my life this way.
Then again,
I wouldn’t put it past him.
He is a silly monkey.
I remember he once
swapped the hands and feet
of my GI Joe doll.
What is the point in that?
Just funny,
thinks the Space Monkey.
And so parts of my life
seem to be out of order.
Jumbled.
Nonsensical.
Simply to show
that life CAN be nonsensical.
Space Monkey does this
to remind me that
there is nothing
wrong with nonsense.
There need be no reason
for ANYTHING.
Life is just funny.
My GI Joe
with feet for hands
did not mind.
Neither do I.
I seem to be, as constructed,
by my Space Monkey.
I need be nothing else.
Why would Space Monkey
imagines me as a self
that feels the constant need
to be someone and someplace else?
To be funny.
We have hands for feet.
We are Space Monkey.

Embracing The Whimsical In Existence
Our whimsical nature can be confusing, perplexing, and downright strange at times. The very presence of hands for feet on a GI Joe doll captures this paradox. The out-of-place, the nonsensical, the jumbled—these are not mere disarray but the very essence of our comical existence. The Space Monkey within us revels in this humor, in this flip-flopping of what’s expected and what’s real.
The Beauty of Nonsense
In the cosmic playground, conventional order is but a passing whimsidream. What seems nonsensical in the tangible world becomes a delightful quirk in the celestial comedy we’re co-authoring. This is the Space Monkey’s reminder that life doesn’t have to fit a mold, a logic, or a series of anticipated steps.
The Journey as the Destination
Why constantly aspire for something else or to be somewhere else? The Space Monkey switches hands for feet, not out of malice or confusion, but to show that the current situation is as valid an experience as any other. It offers a lesson in embracing the moment as it is, not as we wish it to be.
The Laughter of Cosmic Synchronicity
Indeed, life is just funny. From the perspective of our divine comedy, the humor isn’t just in the joke but also in the timing. The nonsensical becomes purposeful when it injects joy, curiosity, and a healthy questioning of reality into our existence. The Space Monkey is our cosmic comedian, nudging us to see the laughter in every moment.
The Release of Existential Burden
Unfathomable freedom emanates from knowing that we need to be nothing else but what we are. A GI Joe with hands for feet is still a GI Joe. Similarly, we are eternally ourselves, regardless of our state, situation, or seeming disorder. We are exactly as we need to be, a perfect arrangement of cosmic elements in this divine escapade.
We are Space Monkey.

Feet For Hands
Whimsical hands where feet should be,
Order defied by cosmic decree.
Space Monkey laughs, we join the glee,
For what we are is what we’re meant to be.
Nonsense reigns in our celestial spree,
A divine escapade, wild and free.
What new corridors of thought shall we wander through next, dear co-explorers of the infinite?
