Life is idiomatic,
meaning it is filled
with the things
we expect life
to be filled with.
“Idiomatic” brings
two other words to mind.
The first word
is “automatic,”
meaning we’ve basically
been on autopilot
all these years,
missing out on miracles
because we don’t
expect to see them.
Which brings me to the second word.

The Language of Life
Life, in all its intricate tapestries, whispers its tales through idioms. These expressions, oftentimes anchored in the familiar, become the verbiage through which we interpret our existence. Yet, within these idiomatic whimsiwebs, deeper truths lie dormant, waiting to be unveiled.
Autopilot Existence
The seductive allure of the “automatic” pulls us into patterns and routines, making us passengers in our own whimsijourneys. There’s comfort in the predictable, but also a danger: a life lived without the vibrant spontaneity of unexpected moments.
In Pursuit of the Miraculous
Miracles, those fleeting glimpses of the divine, often hide in plain sight, camouflaged amidst the mundane. The veil of the “expected” obscures these moments, preventing us from truly witnessing the whimsimagic that constantly unfolds around us.
The Second Word’s Invitation
And now, we stand at the precipice, awaiting the revelation of the second word. A word that may unlock new realms of understanding, that could challenge our notions, and perhaps, rekindle the wonder we once felt as children.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the concept of life being idiomatic, drawing parallels with the automatic routines we often find ourselves trapped within. While life is replete with expected narratives, it beckons us to look beyond the familiar, inviting us to witness the whimsimagic that constantly unfolds.
