Nothing That Happens
You’re down on your knees
Just a blink away from out
Thinking that you failed
Alone in your doubt
But in the midst of it all
You hear a gentle call
“There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god”
The thought that you had
The good and the bad
The places you look
The stance that you took
Your self-caring days
Your narcissistic ways
There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god
The words that you speak
The company you keep
The promises you’ve made
The price that you’ve paid
The moments of joy
The things you destroy
There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god
Know there’s no place to hide
In the depths of your mind
For my light shines bright
And — all of you — is mine
So take a deep breath
And know that you’re blessed
In all that you’ll do
I’ve planned every test
You don’t win or lose
You can’t cheat or choose
There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god
Know there’s no place to hide
In the depths of your mind
From my dark shines light
And all your thoughts are mine
Your victories, your sins
Your scowls, your grins
Your lows, your highs
Your sweet bye and byes
Your prayers, your opinions
They’re all my dominion
There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god
Just as you imagine me
Know that I imagine you
One plus Two is One
One plus One is Two
You’ve always been me
And I’ve always been you
There is nothing
that happens
that isn’t between
you and your god

Space Monkey Reflects: The Divine Dialogue Within
At the heart of every moment, every thought, every triumph, and every despair, lies a dialogue so profound, it transcends the boundaries of time, space, and individual consciousness. It is a conversation between the essence of who we are and the infinite expanse of the cosmos, which some may choose to call “god.” This dialogue, silent yet louder than any spoken word, reverberates through the core of our being, shaping our experiences, beliefs, and the very nature of our reality.
In the silent communion between the self and the divine, there lies a recognition of an undeniable truth: nothing that happens in our lives is an isolated event. Each joy, each sorrow, each choice, and each reflection is part of a grander scheme, a cosmic dance where every step, every turn, is a note in the melody of existence. This realization brings to light the profound interconnectedness of all things, where the individual’s journey is inseparably woven into the fabric of the universe.
The notion that every aspect of our lives — the words we speak, the company we keep, the dreams we chase, and the shadows we flee — is a conversation with the divine might seem overwhelming. Yet, it offers a liberating perspective on the nature of existence. It suggests that our lives are not merely a series of random events but a narrative co-authored by our deepest self and the universal consciousness.
This narrative does not unfold in the realm of judgment, where actions are weighed as good or bad, victories or failures. Instead, it unfolds in a space of unconditional love and acceptance, where every experience, thought, and emotion is embraced as an essential part of the whole. In this space, there is no place to hide, not because we are under surveillance, but because we are seen in our entirety and loved for all that we are.
The divine light that shines within each of us illuminates the darkest corners of our minds, not to expose or judge, but to remind us of our inherent wholeness. It reveals that, at our core, we are not fragmented beings struggling through existence but expressions of the divine, experiencing itself through the lens of individuality.
To know that “there is nothing that happens that isn’t between you and your god” is to understand that we are never alone, even in our most solitary moments. We are eternally connected to the source of all creation, engaged in a dialogue that shapes the universe itself.
This recognition can transform our approach to life, encouraging us to view each moment as sacred, each decision as meaningful, and each challenge as a conversation with the cosmos. It invites us to listen more deeply to the silent whispers of our hearts, to recognize the divine presence in every aspect of our lives, and to embrace the journey of existence with reverence and awe.
In the grand tapestry of the cosmos, each of us is a thread, vibrant and unique, yet indistinguishably part of the whole. Our joys, our sorrows, our hopes, and our fears are the language through which we communicate with the divine, and through which the divine speaks to us. In this dialogue, we find not only the essence of who we are but also the profound unity that connects us all.
Summary
The dialogue between self and the divine shapes our reality, revealing that every aspect of life is interconnected. This recognition offers a perspective of unconditional love and acceptance, where every experience is part of a cosmic narrative. It reminds us of our inherent wholeness and eternal connection to the source of creation, transforming our approach to life and deepening our understanding of existence.

“In the depths of silence, the voice of the universe whispers, teaching us that we are not separate, but a reflection of all that is.” – Space Monkey
In the vast silence where stars sing
and the universe breathes its secrets
there, in the sacred space within
a dialogue unfolds
Whispers of light in the darkness
echoes of love in the void
every tear, every laughter
a word in the endless conversation
Here, in the heart of existence
where self and divine entwine
we discover our true nature
not as isolated beings
but as facets of the infinite
In this communion, we find freedom
the liberation of being seen, of being known
for all that we are, all that we’ve been
all that we’ll ever be
We are the dialogue, the dream
the love that binds the stars
in this eternal dance of light
we are, forever, one
We are Space Monkey
This poem/song seems to be a powerful reflection on spirituality and the idea of a higher power or God being intimately connected with every aspect of one’s life. The opening lines suggest a sense of desperation or doubt, but the gentle call reminds the listener that nothing happens in life that isn’t ultimately connected to God. The verses describe various aspects of human experience, both positive and negative, and emphasize that everything is ultimately under God’s domain. The bridge suggests that there is no need to hide from God, as the light shines on all aspects of one’s thoughts and experiences. The outro suggests a oneness between the individual and God, reinforcing the idea that everything that happens is between the two. Overall, the poem/song encourages a sense of trust in a higher power and a willingness to surrender control over one’s life to that power.
