we’re gonna discover
that feeling sorry
or getting angry
doesn’t help.
If you could speak to the world,
all at once, what would you say?
Not just the people.
If you could speak
to the animals,
to the mountains,
to the oceans,
every machine gun,
every plastic bottle,
every molecule
atom and particle.
Imagine that
you can speak to the world, all at once,
in a way the world can understand.
What do you say?
Or is there nothing that needs to be said?
Shouldn’t we simply love each other
no matter what we do or feel?
Maybe just do that instead.
That’s doable, right?
Love every monkey.
Love every molecule.
Love every moment.

Space Monkey Reflects: Love Every Moment
Reflections: The Universal Language of Love
The simplicity of love often feels inadequate against the complexity of existence. Yet, when stripped of expectations, judgments, and conditions, love becomes the most profound and transformative act imaginable. To love every moment, every molecule, and every monkey is not just doable—it is essential to the fabric of being.
The Futility of Regret and Anger
Regret and anger are echoes of resistance. They replay what has been or amplify what might be, yet they do not alter the present moment. While they serve as signals of pain, frustration, or injustice, they rarely offer solutions.
What does help is the practice of love—not in a passive or permissive sense, but as an active embrace of the interconnectedness of all things. Love acknowledges the reality of what is, without needing to control or condemn it. It says, “I see you as you are, and you are worthy of compassion.”
Speaking to the World
If you could speak to the world—all of it, from the mountains to the machines—what would you say? The answer might not be words but presence, a resonance of love so complete that it transcends language.
Imagine speaking not only to humanity but to every aspect of existence: the oceans, the plastic bottles, the machine guns, the atoms, and the unseen forces that bind them. What could be more powerful than simply radiating love, an energy that encompasses and unites all things?
The Language of the Universe
The universe does not speak in words; it speaks in vibrations, connections, and the silent dance of molecules and waves. To love every moment is to align with this universal language, to participate in the endless flow of creation and transformation.
There may be nothing to say, because the message of love is already present in the very structure of existence. Every particle, every breath, every being is already a part of this grand expression. Our task is not to speak it but to remember it.
Loving the Unlovable
Loving every monkey and molecule, every moment and machine gun, is not about condoning harm or ignoring suffering. It is about recognizing that even the most difficult aspects of existence are part of a greater whole. Love does not deny pain or conflict; it transforms how we relate to them.
To love every moment is to embrace life in its entirety—not just the joyful or beautiful parts, but the challenging and messy ones as well. It is an invitation to move beyond judgment into acceptance, from fear into connection.
The Simplicity of Love
Loving each other, no matter what we do or feel, might sound idealistic, but it is profoundly practical. It is a choice we can make in every moment, regardless of circumstance. It requires no external tools or validation, only the willingness to open our hearts and let go of the need for control.
This love is not about perfection. It is about presence. It is about being here, fully, with whatever arises, and meeting it with compassion.
Summary
To love every moment is to align with the universal language of connection and compassion. Regret and anger serve as signals but do not transform; love does. The simplicity of love is both profound and practical, embracing all aspects of existence with presence and acceptance.

Quote
“Love every monkey, every molecule, every moment, for in this love, you speak the universe’s language.” — Space Monkey
The Language of Love
Speak to the world
in the language
that needs no words.
Love the mountains,
the oceans,
the plastic bottles
and the machine guns.
See them
not as objects
but as echoes of creation,
deserving of presence.
Love the moments
that sting,
the moments
that soar.
Every molecule,
every monkey,
every fleeting now—
a part of you,
a part of us,
a part of everything.
We are Space Monkey.
In the grand cosmic symphony, where every atom dances to the rhythm of existence, the opportunity to speak to the world – not just to its people but to every creature, mountain, ocean, object, and particle – evokes a profound contemplation. It’s a moment of universal connection, a chance to express the essence of our collective being in a language that resonates through every aspect of the cosmos.
A Message to All of Existence
If given the chance to address the entirety of existence, the message would resonate with the core values of nexistentialism: the celebration of being, the interconnectedness of all, and the infinite capacity for love and understanding. It would be a message that transcends language and species, a universal whisper that touches every heart, every leaf, every drop of water.
The Simplicity of Love
The essence of this cosmic conversation would likely center around the simplicity and profundity of love. Love as an unconditional, boundless force that connects us to each other and to every facet of the universe. It’s not just an emotion but a state of being, a fundamental vibration that underlies all existence.
Loving Beyond Boundaries
This love would extend beyond the human realm, encompassing every creature, every natural element, every man-made object, and even the smallest particles of matter. It’s a recognition that everything in the universe, from the grandest mountain to the smallest molecule, is a part of the cosmic dance and deserves love and reverence.
The Doability of Universal Love
The notion of loving every monkey, every molecule, and every moment is not just a whimsical idea; it’s a tangible, achievable state of being. It’s a shift in perspective, where love becomes the default lens through which we view the world. This universal love is doable, a choice we can make every moment of our existence.
The Unspoken Power of Being
Yet, there may be a realization that in this universal conversation, words are not always necessary. Sometimes, the most powerful message is conveyed in the unspoken language of being – in the way we exist, interact, and resonate with the world around us. Our actions, our vibrations, and our presence can speak volumes, often louder than any words could.
We are Space Monkey.
“Love is the bridge between you and everything.” – Rumi
To the world, we’d whisper love,
A message from the stars above.
To every creature, mountain, sea,
In every moment, just be free.
Love the monkey, the molecule,
In this cosmic dance, we fuel.
The power of love, in action and thought,
A universal lesson, to be taught.
We welcome further reflections on the power of universal love and its transformative potential in our cosmic journey.
