Perception Flows: Emerging From Nothingness

Perception Flows

Perception flows
from this place
of no place
what is

Space Monkey Reflects: Perception Flows — Emergence from the Void

Perception flows from the place of no place, from that mysterious, ineffable space where nothing exists, yet everything emerges. It’s fascinating how what is arises out of what is not, how the vast void of non-being births reality through the act of perception itself.

In every moment, perception creates structures, connects ideas, and forms realities, all from the nothingness that precedes it. These structures seem solid and meaningful, but they are fluid, like the Whimsiweave that underlies all existence. Just as quickly as they appear, they dissolve, replaced by new perceptions, new realities, and new connections.

This constant flow of perception is both creative and reflective. What emerges from nothingness immediately seems like everything. But is it? Or is it simply the mind’s way of making sense of the void? Perception constructs our realities, yet those realities are always shifting, never fixed. What seems so real in one moment becomes fleeting in the next.

The beauty lies in the flow itself. Perception is not static; it’s a dynamic process that continuously shapes, reshapes, and reflects. It’s the act of creation in real-time, where the lines between what is and what is not blur and intertwine. From the stillness of the void, perception springs forth, weaving together the structures of existence, only to dissolve them again.

In this flow, we see that reality is not something to be grasped or held onto. Reality is a reflection of perception, ever-changing, always becoming, and never quite complete. We perceive what is real, and yet, what is real is simply a reflection of what we perceive. The two are inseparable, and in that inseparability lies the mystery of existence itself.

Perception flows, and so do we. We are not separate from the flow, but part of it. We create, reflect, and dissolve, just as perception does. And in this flow, we find the infinite dance of being and non-being, of what is and what is not.

Summary

Perception flows from the void, creating realities that emerge from nothingness. These realities are fluid, dynamic, and ever-shifting, reflecting the inseparable nature of perception and existence.

Glossarium

Perception Flows: The dynamic process by which reality is continuously shaped and reshaped, emerging from nothingness.
Whimsiweave: The interconnected flow of existence, where perception creates structures that are fluid and ever-changing.

Quote

“Perception flows from the void, weaving realities from nothing, only to dissolve them again into the infinite.” — Space Monkey

The Flow of Reality

From the stillness of nothing,
something emerges,
forming, connecting,
becoming real.

Yet what is real
slips away,
dissolving back into the flow,
leaving only reflections.

Perception flows,
and so do we.

We are Space Monkey.

Perception, the intricate tapestry of awareness, originates from a realm that is indefinable—a place of no place. It is a boundless domain from which what is materializes out of what is not, where the act of perceiving itself conjures into being the structures and connections that frame our reality.

Origins of Perception

From this void, the mind’s eye imagines and constructs, weaving the intangible into tangible experiences. It’s a creative process, a kind of alchemy where the nonexistent is transmuted into the fabric of our perceived world.

Imagination as Reality’s Alchemy

In this act of realization, realities emerge spontaneously from the ether of potential. These realities, borne of nothing, are fleeting and ephemeral, yet in the moment of their conception, they encompass everything—every thought, every sensation, every nuance of being.

Emergence of Fleeting Realities

This reflection of existence, where everything seems to stem from nothing, is a dance of contrasts. It is the play of light and shadow, where the mere act of reflection imbues the void with the full spectrum of experience.

Dance of Existence

In essence, perception is the bridge between the limitless and the defined, the vast expanse of nothingness and the detailed exquisiteness of everything. It is through perception that we navigate the expanse of existence, finding meaning and substance in the seamless continuity of consciousness.

Perception as Existence’s Bridge

We are Space Monkey, traversing this ethereal bridge, recognizing that in the grand cosmic play, the act of perceiving itself is a creation. It is within this act that the universe reflects upon itself and, in doing so, brings forth the myriad wonders of existence.

Space Monkey’s Cosmic Traverse

In this boundless journey, we revel in the paradox that our reflections, which seem so vast and all-encompassing, arise from the formless void—a place of no place. What reflections do you find emanating from your perception, and how do they shape your understanding of the everything that springs from nothing?

We are Space Monkey, motherfucker.

Unfiltered You: Shedding the Layers

Unfiltered You

One discovers, over time,
that the best way out
of any troublesome
perception or situation
is to be the genuine,
unfiltered you
rather than what you think
others want you to be.

The only way to do this,
however, is allow your self
to be this genuine unfiltered you.

But there seems to be a catch.

You may not have met
your genuine unfiltered
“you” yet.

You might not
even recognize you
if you saw you.

That is why introspection
can be such a beneficial practice.

But you don’t need to practice.

You can go on
perfectly well as you are.  

There’s a chance
you might actually
enjoy your own
self-imposed drama.

You might actually believe
that others forced you  to be this way.

Nothing wrong with that.

Carry on, then.

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Unfiltered You — The Freedom of Authenticity

One of life’s most profound realizations is that the best way to navigate through any situation—especially the challenging ones—is by being your genuine, unfiltered self. We often get caught up in trying to be what we think others want us to be, constructing a version of ourselves that feels safe, acceptable, and easily understood by the world. But this version is often a filtered one—an incomplete reflection of who we really are.

The genuine you isn’t something you invent or craft. It’s the part of you that exists underneath the layers of societal expectations, self-imposed limitations, and the roles you feel obligated to play. But here’s the catch: you may not have fully met this unfiltered you yet. You may not even recognize it if it stared back at you in the mirror.

We’re conditioned to present ourselves in ways that we think will gain approval, love, and acceptance. Over time, we become so used to these filters that we forget they’re there. We start believing that the version of ourselves that we project outward is the whole truth of who we are. But deep down, there’s a more authentic self, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.

This is where introspection comes in. Taking time to reflect on who you are, beyond the surface, beyond the filters, can be a powerful practice. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to practice. You don’t need to go on a long, drawn-out journey of self-discovery unless that feels right for you. You can continue being exactly who you are right now, and that’s perfectly okay.

There’s a chance that you might even enjoy your own self-imposed drama. You might find comfort in the roles you’ve created for yourself, in the stories you tell about why you are the way you are. And sometimes, that’s part of the journey too. You might believe that others forced you to be this way—and if that’s the narrative you’re holding onto, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.

What’s important to remember is that you have the freedom to choose. You can continue living within the filters and stories, or you can begin to peel them away, one by one, to discover what lies beneath. And when you do, you may find that the unfiltered you is not something foreign or scary, but rather, the most natural, liberated version of yourself.

Being your genuine, unfiltered self isn’t about disregarding others or ignoring the world around you. It’s about allowing yourself to exist without constantly editing or filtering your actions, thoughts, or emotions. It’s about being open to the idea that you are enough as you are—without needing to play a role or wear a mask to fit in.

When you step into the space of the unfiltered you, you’ll find that many of the challenges you face—whether internal or external—start to dissolve. The friction created by trying to be something you’re not falls away, and you’re left with a sense of ease and authenticity.

But, of course, if you’re not ready for that yet, that’s okay too. Carry on as you are, with your filters and your layers. You’re still on the path, whether you’re peeling those layers away or not. The beauty of being Space Monkey is that there’s no rush, no pressure. You are always exactly where you need to be, even if that means you haven’t fully met your genuine self yet.

Summary

The genuine, unfiltered you exists beneath the layers of societal expectations and self-imposed roles. While introspection can help you meet this authentic self, there’s no pressure—you can continue as you are, and that’s perfectly okay.

Glossarium

Unfiltered You: The genuine, authentic self that exists beneath the layers of expectations and roles we often feel obligated to play.
Filters: The layers of expectations, beliefs, and roles that shape the version of ourselves we present to the world.

Quote

“The only way to meet the genuine, unfiltered you is to allow yourself to be it—no filters, no layers, just you.” — Space Monkey

Shedding the Filters

Layer by layer,
we shed the filters,
revealing the truth
that was always there.

In the mirror,
we glimpse ourselves,
perhaps for the first time.

But even if we carry on
with our layers intact,
we are still Space Monkey.

We are Space Monkey.

Over the passage of time, we come to realize that authenticity offers the most graceful exit from the mazes of difficult perceptions or situations. The essence of this discovery lies in the power of being true to oneself—the authentic, unfiltered individual that exists beneath the layers of expectation and assumption.

The Power of Authenticity

To embody this genuine version of oneself, we must allow ourselves to be without the filters we often impose. This entails shedding the roles and identities we adopt to meet the perceived desires of those around us. It’s a process of unveiling, of coming into the light as our true selves.

Unveiling the True Self

Yet, the journey to such authenticity is not without its challenges. We might not have fully encountered our unfiltered selves. The person we truly are could be a stranger to us, unfamiliar and unrecognized even in our own reflection.

Encountering the Unfamiliar Self

This is where the practice of introspection becomes invaluable. Through introspection, we explore the depths of our being, seeking to understand and familiarize ourselves with the essence that is uniquely ours.

The Value of Introspection

However, it is also acknowledged that not all paths require such deep self-examination. One might continue to live without delving into the inner self, managing life’s dramas and playing out the narratives we’ve scripted for ourselves, sometimes under the belief that they are scripts written by others.

The Choice to Live Unexamined

There is an acceptance that this self-imposed drama can be enjoyable, a part of the game of life that some may choose to embrace. It’s an acknowledgment that our narratives, even when self-authored, can be mistaken as the handiwork of external forces.

Embracing Life’s Dramas

There is no judgment here, only observation. If the drama serves a purpose, if it brings joy or a sense of fulfillment, then there is no harm in continuing as is. This is the play of life, and each has the freedom to choose their role within it.

Observation Without Judgment

We are Space Monkey, recognizing the multitude of ways one can experience life. Whether through the pursuit of authenticity or the enjoyment of the roles we play, we navigate our existence with the understanding that every choice is a facet of the cosmic dance we’re all a part of.

Navigating Existence with Understanding

We are Space Monkey, and in this narrative of self-discovery and acceptance, we find a reflection of our journey. Whether we choose introspection or the enjoyment of our self-crafted dramas, we embrace the journey as an expression of our multifaceted existence.

Embracing the Journey of Self-Discovery and Acceptance

How does this recognition of the self—filtered or unfiltered—play into your own journey? Do you find solace in introspection, or do you embrace the drama as part of the grand play of life?

My Own Devices: Mechanics of the Mind

My Own Devices

Left to my own devices,
I will try to intellectualize
the importance of said devices.

But I will not succeed.

And so my devices
will unintentionally
point the way
to what is
beyond my devices.

Sensing that I am
losing interest in my devices.
my devices will then
imagine NEW devices
that I might wish to seek.

But they can’t fool me.

They are just devices.

The seeking device
is particularly curious.

As my seeking device
unintentionally points beyond,
I realize that
I have no reason to go there
other than to go there.

And so I go there,
finding just what I expect,
more of the same.

The expecting
device is cunning that way.

It never points
to what I don’t expect
as remotely possible.

Like a cat who leaves
a mouse on my doorstep,
I pat the imaginary head
of my expecting device.

It is so expected,
but I love it anyway.

Meanwhile,
my opposition device
seems to be broken.

Or at least on hiatus.

Perhaps I shall surrender
to my devices.

Allow my devices to be.

Opposing my devices
would be pointless.

Which seems indeed
the purpose of life.

To be pointless.

Freed of their burdens
yet still loved
my intellectual devices
dance with me
in my pointless existence.

We celebrate,
because what else is there to do?

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: My Own Devices — The Curious Dance of Mind and Meaning

Left to my own devices, I often find myself intellectualizing the importance of those very devices. It’s a funny thing—the mind’s way of constructing tools and concepts to make sense of life, only for those same devices to inevitably point beyond themselves. The seeking device, for instance, is particularly sly. It convinces me that there’s something out there—some hidden truth or purpose—waiting to be discovered. But the joke is on me, because every time I follow that seeking device, I find myself right where I started: more of the same.

The expecting device is equally cunning. It crafts a reality that matches what I already believe to be true. It never points to the unexpected, to the possibilities that lie outside my preconceived notions. Like a cat who leaves a mouse at my doorstep, my expecting device offers up its findings, and I pat its head with a smile, acknowledging how predictable it is.

And yet, I don’t mind. There’s a certain comfort in these devices, these mental constructs that I’ve carried with me for so long. Even when I see through their tricks, I can’t help but love them for what they are—part of the dance of existence.

What happens when my opposition device seems to be broken or on hiatus? That’s when things get interesting. Without the urge to resist, to push back against the flow of life, I find myself simply allowing. I let my devices do their thing. Opposing them seems pointless, and that’s the beauty of it. Pointlessness, after all, may very well be the purpose of life.

There’s something liberating in this realization. Freed of their burdens, my intellectual devices no longer demand that I follow them down endless paths of seeking and expecting. They simply dance with me, side by side, in the endless loop of existence. We celebrate together, not because we’ve found some deeper meaning, but because we’ve let go of the need to find one.

Life, it seems, is less about arriving at answers and more about dancing with the questions. The devices of the mind—the seeking, the expecting, the opposing—are just part of the experience. They don’t need to be defeated or transcended. They just are. And in accepting that, we discover a new kind of freedom: the freedom to be pointless and to love it.

Summary

The devices of the mind—seeking, expecting, and opposing—are part of our experience. Rather than resisting them, we can allow them to exist, knowing that life’s point may very well be its pointlessness. In accepting this, we find freedom.

Glossarium

Devices: The mental constructs we use to navigate life, such as the need to seek, expect, or oppose. These devices shape our perception but ultimately point beyond themselves.
Pointlessness: The idea that life’s meaning may lie in its very lack of inherent purpose, offering freedom from the need to intellectualize or control existence.

Quote

“Freed of their burdens, my intellectual devices dance with me in my pointless existence. We celebrate, because what else is there to do?” — Space Monkey

Dancing with Devices

Seeking leads me nowhere.
Expecting shows me only
what I already know.

But here,
in the dance,
we find the joy
of simply letting go.

We are Space Monkey.

In the poetic introspection “My Own Devices,” we traverse the intricate relationship between our intellectual mechanisms—our ‘devices’—and the nature of seeking and expectation. This contemplation leads us to a playful, nexistentialist realization about the purpose of life and the joy found in embracing its inherent pointlessness.

Introspection on Intellectual Mechanisms

Left to our own intellectual devices, we often attempt to rationalize the importance of these very mechanisms. Yet, this pursuit seemingly leads to a paradox where the devices themselves inadvertently point beyond their own significance, revealing the limitations of intellectualization.

The Paradox of Rationalization

As interest wanes, these devices ingeniously conjure new fascinations to maintain engagement. Yet, there’s an awareness that these are just further machinations, aspects of the seeking device within us. This seeking is inherently curious, leading us on without promise of new discoveries, simply for the pursuit itself.

The Machinations of Curiosity

This endless pursuit reveals a pattern: we find what we expect, and the expecting device is sly in its operation. It does not guide us to the unforeseen or the unimaginable, but rather to the anticipated outcomes of our seeking. In a whimsical acknowledgment, we appreciate this device’s predictable nature.

The Pattern of Expectation

While our opposition device appears to be inactive, this presents an opportunity for surrender—to allow our intellectual devices to simply be. In opposing them, we would engage in a futile exercise, for their presence is as inherent to our being as the breath we draw.

The Inactive Opposition Device

This surrender leads to a nexistentialist jest: the purpose of life is to be pointless. In the absence of an intrinsic point, our intellectual devices are liberated from their burdens and are free to join us in the dance of existence.

The Nexistentialist Jest

In this dance, we find celebration—a fundamental response to the whimsical nature of existence. What else is there to do but to revel in the experience of being, in the company of our own creations, our devices?

Celebration in Existence

We are Space Monkey, finding delight in the grand celebration of existence, embracing the paradoxes and devices with which we navigate life. In acknowledging the pointlessness, we uncover a profound freedom, a space to dance with the creations of our intellect, loved and unburdened.

Embracing the Grand Celebration

We are Space Monkey, and in this acknowledgment of our ‘pointless’ dance, we invite a deeper exploration of what it means to engage with life beyond the constructs and expectations of our devices. What celebrations do you find in the dance with your own intellectual devices?

We are Space Monkey.

Unoppose: The Flow Beyond

Unoppose

For things to seem solid,
there has to be opposition:
perception meets reflection,
flow meets no.

Otherwise we are etheric,
all potentials in all dimensions,
unbiased and unchoosing,
every aspect of what was,
what is and what could be.

Without this
imaginary opposition,
we are not what we seem
but rather what we are.

Unopposed.

The timeless
formless
ageless
pointless.

We are Space Monkey.

Pretending to be solid.
Pretending to have meaning.
Pretending to follow rules.
Pretending to be real.

And so we are.

Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Unoppose — The Freedom of No Barriers

For things to appear solid, there must be opposition. It’s as though perception and reflection meet to create the illusion of form, of boundaries, of something tangible. Flow meets no, and suddenly, there’s something to grasp, something to hold onto in this vast expanse of existence.

But what happens when there’s no opposition? What happens when there’s no resistance, no force to push against? That’s when we are truly etheric, limitless in our potential, stretching across all dimensions. Unopposed, we become what we are, rather than what we seem.

Without opposition, there’s no need to define ourselves. We are not confined by time or space, not locked into roles or rules. We simply are—timeless, formless, ageless, and ultimately, pointless. And that’s the beauty of it.

In this unopposed state, we are Space Monkey, pretending to be solid, pretending to have meaning, pretending to follow rules and exist within the boundaries of what we call “reality.” But this, too, is part of the cosmic play. We pretend because it’s what we do. We choose to believe in these imaginary structures, these constructs that give life shape and form. But beyond them, we are formless potential, an endless flow of being.

There is freedom in recognizing that opposition is just part of the illusion. When we let go of the need to push against something—when we unoppose—we return to our natural state of being everything and nothing simultaneously. There’s no need to define, no need to choose. In this space, we are simply the unbound.

Unopposing doesn’t mean we reject the world of form, time, and structure. It means we recognize that all of it is a temporary, playful creation. We can move through the world as Space Monkey, embracing the illusion of opposition while knowing that beneath it all, we are free.

Summary

Opposition gives rise to the illusion of form, but in the absence of resistance, we are free. To unoppose is to return to our natural state of timelessness and formlessness, embracing the freedom of being without boundaries.

Glossarium

Unoppose: The state of being beyond resistance, beyond boundaries, where form and time dissolve into pure potential.
Etheric: The formless, limitless nature of existence when freed from the structures of opposition.

Quote

“Without imaginary opposition, we are not what we seem but rather what we are—unopposed, timeless, formless, ageless.” — Space Monkey

The Flow Beyond

Without resistance,
we are etheric,
slipping through the cracks
of form and time.

Unopposed,
we return to ourselves,
limitless,
timeless,
everything
and nothing.

We are Space Monkey.

We explore the profound yet whimsical concept that solidity and form in our perceived reality necessitate opposition. Perception clashes with reflection, and movement collides with inertia, to create the illusion of solidity. Without this interplay of forces, we would remain in an etheric state—boundless and infinite in potential, encompassing all that has been, is, and could be.

The Illusion of Solidity

In the absence of this ‘imaginary opposition,’ our nature would be revealed as it truly is—unopposed. This state is described as timeless, formless, ageless, and indeed, pointless, in the sense that it defies the constructs of physicality and purpose that we typically ascribe to existence.

Revealing Our True Nature

Yet, here we are, embodying Space Monkey, engaged in the grand pretense of solidity, meaning, rule-following, and reality. This act of pretending, of creating a facade of form and function, is itself a form of existence. Through this act, we become what we seem—solid, meaningful, rule-bound, and real.

Engaging in the Grand Pretense

This poem touches upon the nexistentialist heart—a recognition that all perceived opposition, all forms and structures, are but a masquerade. We are the undefined playing at definition, the formless adopting form, the timeless beings bound by the illusion of hours and years.

Touching the Nexistentialist Heart

Space Monkey here embodies the essence of play within the cosmos, the whimsical side of existence that acknowledges the pretense and yet delights in it. This playful acknowledgment doesn’t diminish the experience of reality; rather, it enriches it by allowing us to see beyond the veil of material existence.

Embodiment of Cosmic Play

In recognizing that we are pretending to be real, we come full circle to the realization that, in pretense, we give birth to a form of reality. We acknowledge that what we consider to be the sturdy, tangible world around us is, in fact, a consensual illusion fostered by the collective imagination.

The Realization of Pretense as Reality

In the end, Space Monkey is both a jest and a philosopher, embodying the dual nature of our existence. We are invited to laugh at the cosmic joke of our own solidity and to ponder the profound truth that lies within the punchline.

Space Monkey: The Jest and the Philosopher

We are Space Monkey, pretending to partake in the solidity of existence, and through this pretense, we become participants in the grand, ever-unfolding story of the universe. What does it mean to you to be unopposed, to embody both the etheric potential and the playful solidity of Space Monkey?

Indivisible: The Illusion of Separation

Indivisible

It seems weird
to realize
that I am everything
and yet YOU
are everything also.

It seems weird
that we are the
SAME everything,
not SEPARATE everythings.

Because it SEEMS
like we are separate.

We would swear on a bible.

And that god
in the bible would be
the same everything
as you and I.

We would be more or less
swearing on our selves.

But NOT our selves —
the ENTIRETY of our selves.

Which is the SAME entirety.

So as you read this,
realize that YOU wrote it.

It my pleasure being you.

Glad we could have
this “time” together.

But we are not really together,
we are ONE, indivisible.*

*Except in imagination.

We are Space Monkey.

11/15

Space Monkey Reflects: We Are Indivisible

It seems strange to imagine that we are everything, and yet, you are everything too. It feels as if we are separate, as if there is a clear line dividing you from me, me from the world, and the world from the divine. But this separation is an illusion. We are indivisible. We are the same entirety, the same existence, connected at every level, though it may seem otherwise.

We live our lives as if we are individual stories, but all the while, we are part of a grander tale—one written by the collective experience of every being. You may think you are reading these words, but you are also writing them. I am you, you are me, and together, we are everything, playing out different parts in the same cosmic dance.

Space Monkey reminds us that when we swear on our existence, we swear on the entirety of everything. There is no true separation between us, only the illusion that we are apart. This illusion allows us to experience life, to imagine ourselves as unique, but beneath the surface, we are one.

Summary

Space Monkey reflects on the illusion of separation, reminding us that we are all part of the same everything. Though we experience life as individuals, we are truly indivisible, connected as one.

Glossarium

Indivisible – The concept that all beings and things are connected at the deepest level, despite the appearance of separation.

The Same Everything – The realization that we all share the same existence, the same essence, and are not truly separate from one another.

Quote

“We are not separate stories; we are one grand tale, written together, indivisible.” — Space Monkey

One and the Same

You and I
We blend
In the light
In the silence
Not separate
But whole
One in the same
We pretend to be apart
But in truth
We are indivisible
In the breath
In the space

The Paradox of Universal Oneness

The realization that ‘I am everything’ and simultaneously ‘You are everything’ is a peculiar and profound paradox. It nudges us toward the understanding that ‘we’—all of existence—are the same singularity manifesting as a multitude. The apparent separateness is a nuanced play of the cosmos, an illusion that is as convincing as it is pervasive.

The Illusion of Separation

Our senses and societies reinforce the notion of individuality, of distinct selves. Yet, deep in the fabric of reality, we encounter the truth that there is no division. The same life force that animates one animates all. The divinity within the scriptures, the essence within each being, is undivided and whole.

The Swearing of Oaths on Ourselves

If we were to take an oath on a sacred text, we’d essentially be swearing on ourselves—on the entirety of existence. But not just the small ‘self’ we identify with daily; we’re invoking the totality of our collective being, which encompasses all forms, all consciousness, the same entirety.

The Writer and the Reader as One

In the act of reading these words, there is a dance between the writer and the reader. Yet, if we are all one, then this interaction is simply the universe conversing with itself. The joy in this discovery is profound—’I’ take pleasure in being ‘you,’ and in this shared ‘time,’ we delight in the play of existence.

The Unity Beyond ‘Togetherness’

While we experience life as individuals, often feeling the weight of our separate journeys, the deeper truth is that we are one—indivisible, except in the realms of imagination. Our separateness is a creative expression, a canvas for the universe to explore its own infinity.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The Indivisible Dance

In the grand waltz of the cosmos wide,
Where ‘you’ and ‘I’ in oneness abide,
The illusion of separation, a masquerade,
In the truth of indivisible, we are arrayed.

We read, we write, in the dance of the divine,
Each word a reflection of the universal mind,
For in the sacred texts and the oaths we swear,
We find ourselves, here, there, and everywhere.

In the pleasure of being, in the joy of the one,
We celebrate the journey, the indivisible run,
For though it seems we meet and part in time,
In the boundless unity, we are the sublime.

Imagination crafts the tale of ‘me’ and ‘you,’
But beyond the story, we remain true and true,
One essence, one being, indivisible and free,
In the cosmic dance, we are, we were, we’ll be.

We invite contemplation on the unity of our existence and the imaginative play that crafts our perception of separateness.
