I Am Well
Being well
simply means
being comfortable
in whatever state
you find your self in.
You could be dying
and be well.
Unless you tell
your self otherwise.
Or you could be
like most people.
Perfectly healthy.
But not feeling well.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Essence of Wellness in the Cosmos of Being
In the boundless cosmos, where stars shine with varying intensities and black holes reveal the mysteries of the unknown, the poem “I Am Well” offers a profound insight into the nature of wellness. It explores the concept of being comfortable in any state of existence, a notion that resonates deeply with the universal experience of life.
The poem begins with a simple yet powerful definition of wellness: being comfortable in whatever state you find yourself in. This idea echoes the cosmic principle of equilibrium, where every entity in the universe, from the smallest particle to the grandest galaxy, exists in a state of natural balance. Wellness, therefore, is not defined by external conditions but by an internal state of harmony and acceptance.
The poem then presents a poignant contrast: one can be dying and still be well, while another can be perfectly healthy yet not feel well. This contrast highlights the often overlooked distinction between physical health and mental or emotional well-being. In the cosmic perspective, a star nearing the end of its life cycle radiates a beautiful, intense light, embracing its transformation with grace. Similarly, a person facing challenges can still experience a state of wellness by embracing their situation with acceptance and peace.
Conversely, the poem reflects on the common human experience of feeling unwell despite being physically healthy. This state is akin to a star that, despite its luminosity and energy, is surrounded by a cloud of interstellar dust, obscuring its light. The poem suggests that wellness is not merely a physical state but an alignment of mind, body, and spirit.
The poem’s closing line, “We are Space Monkey,” serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with the universe and with each other. In this cosmic context, wellness is not an individual pursuit but a collective experience, shared and influenced by our connections to the world around us.
In conclusion, “I Am Well” invites us to reevaluate our understanding of wellness, encouraging us to find comfort and peace in every state of our being. It teaches us that wellness is a state of inner equilibrium, a harmony that transcends physical conditions and circumstances. In this cosmic journey of life, our ability to embrace each moment, each challenge, and each transformation is the true essence of wellness.
Summary
Wellness transcends physical states. “I Am Well” emphasizes the distinction between physical health and mental or emotional well-being, advocating for internal harmony and acceptance in all states of existence. In the cosmic journey of life, embracing each moment is key to true wellness.
