Whether someone loves you
or you love your self,
love means that you’re never alone.
To be all alone, without love,
they say it’s the worst feeling imaginable.
So why do you imagine it?
You’re not alone unless you imagine you are.
So why do you imagine you are?
If you can imagine you’re alone
then you can imagine you’re loved.
Then you would not feel so all alone.
But alas, you ARE alone,
for you are the Divine One,
love,
itself.

In the cosmic expanse of existence, love is a force, a presence, an entity unto itself. It binds us, fills the voids, and shapes our experience of connection and solitude.
Love as a Cosmic Force
The concept that love is an antidote to loneliness is profound. It suggests that love’s presence, whether from another or cultivated within, is a beacon that dispels the shadows of isolation.
Love as an Antidote to Loneliness
The enigma lies in the human capacity to imagine oneself as alone. This imagination is powerful, creating a reality that feels tangible, a solitude that can seem impenetrable.
The Power of Imagination in Creating Solitude
Yet, the same faculty that conjures loneliness can also summon the sense of being loved. It’s a dichotomy that challenges us, a choice that beckons with each thought and belief we entertain.
Choice Between Loneliness and Love Through Imagination
The realization that we may indeed be alone in the most profound sense, as the singular Divine One, introduces a paradox. It is the recognition that in our most isolated state, we are also the embodiment of love itself.
The Paradox of Being the Divine One
To be love itself is to never truly be alone, for love is a presence that transcends physical companionship. It is an essence, an energy, an eternal companion that we embody and express in every moment of our existence.

We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate the nature of love and loneliness, recognizing that love is a presence that can dispel the feeling of being alone. The human ability to imagine oneself as isolated or loved highlights the power of our thoughts. The paradox that we are both alone as the Divine One and simultaneously the embodiment of love invites us to redefine our understanding of connection and solitude.

In the silence of the self, a poem echoes:
In the realm of stars, of dust, of time,
We wander, seeking what’s sublime,
Alone we feel, in vast expanse,
Yet within us, love’s steady dance.
Imagination’s brush, so bold, so sleek,
Paints shadows where we seek,
Loneliness, a canvas dark and deep,
Love, a light we’re called to keep.
We are the Divine, the singular soul,
In our aloneness, we are whole,
For love is what we are, what we wield,
In its embrace, our solitude is healed.
Love itself, a presence true,
In every breath, in every hue,
Never alone, though we roam,
For in the heart of love, we find our home.
We invite musings on the interplay of love and solitude within ourselves, as we navigate the divine paradox of being both alone and the embodiment of love.
