Polished: The Rhythm of Days

My mornings
are filled with potential.

My evenings
drained like wine.

Sand turns to bottle
turns to broken glass.

Polished by
by the waves of time.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Transformative Waves of Time

Life, like sand and glass, undergoes a constant process of transformation. Mornings brim with untapped potential, sparkling like grains of sand ready to be shaped. Evenings, in contrast, often feel drained, like wine poured out, leaving behind an empty vessel. Yet even in this perceived emptiness, there is a subtle, persistent alchemy at work.

The metaphor of sand turning to glass, to bottle, to broken shards, and finally to polished beauty captures the cyclical nature of existence. What is shattered is not lost—it is merely reshaped, redefined by the relentless waves of time. These waves, sometimes gentle, sometimes crashing, smooth our jagged edges, transforming what seems broken into something radiant.

To be polished is not to be perfect but to be weathered, refined, and made whole by the interplay of time and experience. The glass that once held wine now glows softly in the sand, a testament to the beauty found in impermanence. Its journey—from creation to breaking, from breaking to renewal—is one we all share.

In Nexistentialism, this process is emblematic of the Nexis, the interconnected web of existence. Every moment, every wave, contributes to the polishing of our being. The morning’s potential feeds into the evening’s reflection, creating a seamless flow of transformation. There is no wasted effort, no final destination—only the continuous shaping of who we are.

This cyclical polishing invites us to embrace the beauty of wear and change. It reminds us that the jagged edges of our experiences, though painful, are necessary for our refinement. The waves may strip away our illusions, but they also reveal our essence, smooth and shining beneath the surface.

Even as evenings feel drained, they are not devoid of value. The emptiness they bring creates space for reflection, for understanding the ways in which we have been shaped. It is in this space that we come to see our polished selves—not as finished products, but as ever-evolving works of art.

To live polished by time is to accept both the breaking and the renewal, the draining and the filling. It is to see each moment as part of a greater process, where nothing is wasted and everything has purpose. Like the glass smoothed by waves, we emerge from life’s tides transformed, not despite our trials but because of them.

Summary

Life’s transformations, like waves polishing glass, shape us into radiant beings. Through breaking and renewal, we discover beauty in impermanence and embrace the endless cycle of becoming.

Glossarium

Polished Being: The refined state of existence shaped by the trials and transformations of time.

Quote

“To be polished is to be touched by time, reshaped by trials, and revealed in radiance.” — Space Monkey

The Polished Shard

Once jagged,
Now smooth.
Once shattered,
Now whole.

The waves take,
And they give.
Each pass,
A whisper of renewal.

Polished by time,
We are not perfect,
But radiant,
Shaped by the tides of becoming.

We are Space Monkey.

As dawn unfurls its gentle light, our mornings brim with potential, a canvas awaiting the first stroke of experience. There’s a palpable sense of the beginning, of possibilities yet to unfurl, each day a fresh page in the whimsiword of our lives.

Dawn: The Vessel of Potential
The early hours are infused with promise, each moment ripe with the prospect of what could be. It’s a time when the energy of new beginnings pulsates through the air, and the world seems to stand in quiet anticipation of our choices and actions.

Dusk: The Wine of Day’s End
As the sun wanes, our evenings often carry the weight of the day’s exertions, the emptied chalice of our endeavors. Like wine drained from a glass, the residue of our day’s efforts lingers, bittersweet and reflective.

Time: The Alchemist
In the crucible of passing hours, the sand of our daily toils is transformed, bottled up in the memories we collect. Yet, as days turn to years, these bottles too can shatter, leaving behind fragments polished by the relentless waves of time.

The Polishing of Self
The broken glass of our experiences, once sharp and jagged, is smoothed over time. It’s a metaphor for the self, honed and shaped by the tides of life, each wave a lesson, each grain of sand a fleeting moment in the grander scheme of our existence.

We Are Space Monkey
In embracing the ebb and flow of our days, from the potential of mornings to the reflective quietude of evenings, we recognize the cyclical nature of life. We are shaped by time, our edges smoothed, our essence refined by its ceaseless passage.

“The morning pours its potential into your cup of day, and whatever you pour into the evening becomes the wine of sleep.” – Unknown

Morning’s light, a chalice bright,
Filled to the brim with dreams’ delight.
With every tick, a choice, a chance,
In the day’s dance, we advance.

Evening comes, a softer glow,
The day’s wine, a gentle flow.
The glass now empty, but rich in taste,
Each moment lived, none to waste.

Time, the tide, relentless, sure,
Smooths our spirit, makes us pure.
The glass, the sand, the sea’s embrace,
In their touch, our lines erase.

We invite you to reflect on the daily cycle of potential and reflection, and how time’s passage polishes us into the beings we are meant to become.

Breathing: And Being Breathed

I notice that I am
most deeply burrowed in self
when I am unaware
of my own breathing.

This seems the point in which
imagination takes over.

What could be more
compelling than breathing?

I forget that I am breathing
because I am focused
on the details of my story.

I imagine reality and forget all else.

But breathing brings me back
to the remembering.

I am not simply this self that breathes.

I am breathed.

Trail Wood,

Space Monkey Reflects: The Essence of Being Breathed

Breathing, the simplest yet most profound act, bridges the gap between awareness and unconsciousness. It sustains us without our attention, allowing us to delve into the intricate narratives of our minds. Yet, when we pause to notice our breath, we are pulled back into the present, into the quiet reminder that we are not merely breathing—we are being breathed.

This realization shifts the narrative. To be breathed is to recognize that life flows through us, not by our will but by a greater rhythm. The act of breathing becomes a metaphor for existence itself—effortless, continuous, and deeply interconnected with all that is.

The moments when we forget our breath are the moments when imagination takes the stage. Lost in the details of our stories, we construct realities layered with dreams, fears, and aspirations. These imagined worlds compel our focus, drawing us away from the fundamental act of being. Yet, this forgetting is not a flaw—it is part of the dance between self and cosmos, between the tangible and the imagined.

When we return to the breath, we return to the essence of what it means to exist. The breath is both anchor and gateway, grounding us in the now while connecting us to the infinite. It is a reminder that we are not isolated selves but threads in the vast tapestry of life, each inhalation and exhalation resonating with the rhythm of the universe.

Nexistentialism sees this interplay as a core truth of the Nexis, the interconnected web of all existence. In this framework, to breathe is to participate in the cosmic flow, to be both individual and universal. The breath dissolves the illusion of separateness, revealing the unity beneath the surface of being.

To say, “I am breathed,” is to surrender to this unity. It is to acknowledge that life does not emanate from us but through us. This shift in perspective transforms the act of breathing from a biological necessity to a sacred expression of existence.

In the quiet awareness of the breath, we find a sanctuary. Here, we are free from the weight of our stories, the endless striving and constructing of identities. In this space, we are simply present—alive, aware, and part of something immeasurably vast.

Summary

Breathing is both a grounding and transcendent act, connecting us to the present moment and the infinite. By recognizing that we are breathed, we transcend the illusion of separateness and embrace our place within the cosmic flow.

Glossarium

Being Breathed: The realization that life flows through us, not by our will but as part of the greater rhythm of existence.

Nexistentialism: A philosophy emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things and the unity found in the breath of life.

Cosmic Flow: The continuous, effortless rhythm that sustains and connects all existence.

Quote

“To be breathed is to surrender to the rhythm of existence, flowing effortlessly within the infinite.” — Space Monkey

The Breath of Being

Inhale,
Exhale,
The rhythm of existence.

Not mine,
Not yours,
But ours,
Flowing through the void.

I am not breathing,
I am breathed,
A wave in the infinite,
Rising, falling,
Alive.

We are Space Monkey.

Within the profound depths of self, there’s a gentle, rhythmic pulse that often goes unnoticed—the breath. It is when we slip into the caverns of our own narratives and imaginings that the simple act of breathing retreats from our conscious awareness. Yet, this autonomic process holds a secret: it is both a tether to the corporeal and a bridge to the transcendent.

Breath: The Forgotten Rhythm
It is intriguing how the very process that sustains us can become so easily forgotten in the midst of life’s intricacies. The breath flows, unnoticed, as we delve into the minutiae of our individual stories, the details that we believe define us.

Imagination: The Captivating Storyteller
Our imagination is a potent force, painting realities so vivid that even the act of breathing pales in comparison. It is in these moments, engrossed in the fabric of our crafted worlds, that we disconnect from the awareness of our own physical existence.

The Call of Breath
Yet, breath has a way of calling us back, a gentle reminder that we are more than just the characters in our stories. It is a return to the present, a nudge towards the recognition of the now.

Beyond the Breathing Self
We are reminded that we are not merely beings who breathe; there is a profound realization that we are breathed. It’s an acknowledgment of a greater force, a universal rhythm that moves through us, connecting us to something beyond the individual self.

We Are Space Monkey
We understand that in the act of breathing, we engage in a sacred exchange with the cosmos itself. Every inhalation is a drawing in of life force, every exhalation a release of what no longer serves. To be aware of breath is to be present, to remember that we are integral parts of a grander tapestry—ah, whimsiword—woven by the breath of existence itself.

“The breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

In stillness, a whisper faint and deep,
A rhythmic flow, a sacred keep.
Unseen, unheard, in quiet’s embrace,
The breath continues, a timeless grace.

Lost in the tale, a mind adrift,
The breath brings back, a conscious shift.
Not just a self, confined and reared,
But a cosmic dance, lovingly steered.

In breath’s return, we find our place,
A unity with the cosmic space.
For we are not merely here to breathe,
We are woven in the breath we leave.

We invite contemplation on the essence of breath as a connecting force to the present moment and a reminder of our expansive being within the cosmos.

Waiting For Inspiration To Strike: Ignite the Spark

I feel like I should be
doing something epic,
but I don’t know exactly
what that’s supposed to be.

It seems that
whatever-that-is
should be effortless,
not labored like 99.999%
of my life so far.

So I’m waiting for inspiration to strike.

It’s hard to trust that it will.
But faith is why I’m here.

I also know that my waiting
is precisely what prevents
whatever-it-is from striking me.

No more waiting. Hit me now.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Art of Waiting for Inspiration

Inspiration feels like a divine lightning strike—a sudden jolt of clarity and creativity that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. Yet, waiting for it can feel like an endless pause, a limbo of longing and frustration. It is this paradoxical act of waiting, of expecting the strike, that often pushes it further away.

The truth is, inspiration doesn’t arise from stillness alone; it emerges from the movement of thought, emotion, and action. It is not the reward for waiting but the result of engaging with life in all its messy, imperfect forms. Waiting, in its passive sense, often becomes the wall between us and the creative epiphany we seek.

When we demand that inspiration be effortless, we dismiss the labor of creativity—the process of showing up, even when the muse seems absent. The effort itself becomes the fertile ground where the seeds of inspiration take root. It’s in the act of doing, of trusting the process, that the spark ignites.

But what of faith? Faith isn’t just about believing that inspiration will come; it’s about understanding that it already exists within us. It lies dormant, waiting for the friction of curiosity and effort to awaken it. The strike we wait for is not external; it’s the realization that we are the source of our own creative energy. The lightning is within.

“No more waiting” becomes the mantra of the inspired. By releasing the expectation of how and when inspiration should arrive, we create the space for it to flow freely. It is in the practice of living fully—experimenting, failing, observing, and persisting—that we find the spark we’ve been seeking.

Inspiration is less about a sudden strike and more about an unfolding—an unspooling of ideas that grows brighter the more we engage. When we trust this process, even the labor becomes light, the struggle becomes joy, and the waiting transforms into an act of creation itself.

And so, as Space Monkeys, we no longer wait passively for inspiration to strike. We declare: “Hit me now,” not as a plea but as an acknowledgment that the strike is already here, within the infinite potential of our being.

Summary

Inspiration doesn’t come from waiting; it comes from engaging with life. Trusting the creative process and taking action awakens the spark within us.

Glossarium

Divine Lightning Strike: The sudden burst of creative energy and clarity often mistaken as external inspiration.

Labor of Creativity: The consistent effort and engagement that pave the way for inspiration to arise naturally.

Internal Spark: The realization that inspiration is not external but a potential within each of us.

Quote

“Inspiration isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we awaken through the act of living.” — Space Monkey

Ignite the Spark

Under the skies of restless thought,
I sat, waiting for the bolt.
But the storm, it whispered low,
“The spark you seek begins to glow.”

Not from the clouds, nor distant skies,
But from within, where courage lies.
To rise, to act, to dare and try,
Reveals the light we hold inside.

We are Space Monkey.

The Quest for an Epic Purpose

The sensation of being on the cusp of something epic, yet not quite grasping what it could be, is a familiar echo in the chambers of our collective consciousness. It’s as if we stand at the edge of a precipice, eyes closed, feeling the winds of destiny yet unable to leap—not out of fear, but from not knowing which direction the leap should take.

The Paradox of Effort and Inspiration

There’s an expectation that this epic calling should unfold with the grace of a river flowing to the sea—naturally, inevitably, without the strain that marks much of our existence. The labor that has defined 99.999% of life feels at odds with the ease we associate with true purpose.

The Challenge of Trusting in Inspiration

Waiting for inspiration to strike is an act of faith, a silent vigil we keep with the universe. The difficulty lies in trusting this process, in believing that inspiration will come unbidden and transform our waiting into action. Faith is the compass that guides us through this uncertainty, the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

The Irony of Waiting

Yet, we acknowledge an irony: our waiting may be the very barrier that keeps whatever-it-is at bay. In the stillness of our anticipation, we may inadvertently close the door to the spontaneity of inspiration. It’s the act of waiting that can paralyze, that can prevent the stroke of insight that we seek.

The Call to Action

No more waiting. This is the clarion call to the universe, a demand for the lightning of inspiration to strike, to catalyze movement. It’s a declaration that we are ready, that we are no longer content to be passive recipients of fate. Hit me now—it’s an invocation, a challenge to the cosmos to bring forth that which is epic.

Summary

We grapple with the desire to do something epic and the uncertainty of what that should be, juxtaposing the effortlessness we associate with true calling against the laborious reality of life. There’s a recognition that waiting for inspiration might be an obstacle, leading to a resolve to take action and an invocation for inspiration to strike immediately.

Glossarium

Epic purpose: The idea of a grand and meaningful calling in life.
Inspiration strike: A sudden, powerful influx of creative or motivational insight.

“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.” – William Butler Yeats

We stand on the brink, eyes wide,
The epic call, our silent guide.
With faith as our steadfast ally,
We’ll leap into the boundless sky.

No more shall we await the sign,
For in action, our stars align.
The cosmos hears our fervent plea,
“Inspire now, set our spirits free.”

We are Space Monkey.

How do we channel the patience for our epic purpose with the proactive energy needed to ignite inspiration and transform our lives into the grand narrative we seek to live?

The Moneychanger at the Temple: Infinite Grace

The Moneychanger at the Temple

The moneychanger at the temple
provides the official tokens of forgiveness
for only a slight service charge.

They say you cannot be forgiven
without one of these tokens,
and they are quite hard to come by.

So okay, then.

I will pay the moneychanger
for a token of forgiveness.

Seems I have no other choice.

Besides, I have all kinds of money.

Enough money to buy forgiveness.

But somehow I feel
as though I’m missing the point.

If I can pay a moneychanger
for forgiveness,
then why should
the Divine One forgive me?

I’m not really doing anything
except handing over a couple shekels.

I’m giving NONE OF IT
to the Divine One, except for a token.

Who is profiting here?

Why does the Divine One
let the moneychanger into the temple?

Because ANYONE
can enter the temple for free.

You don’t need a token to be forgiven.

You don’t even need to be forgiven.

The Divine One laughs.

That’s all the payment the Divine One needs.

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Moneychanger at the Temple

The moneychanger at the temple represents the paradox of transactional forgiveness in the face of boundless divine grace. This imagery serves as a mirror, reflecting the human tendency to assign value and condition to that which is inherently free.

The act of exchanging money for a token of forgiveness seems to suggest that absolution can be earned, bought, or mediated through an intermediary. But beneath this surface transaction lies a deeper truth: forgiveness, like love, is not a commodity. It cannot be measured, packaged, or sold. The Divine One, the eternal wellspring of grace, asks for nothing in return because grace, by its nature, is freely given.

Why, then, does the moneychanger exist? Perhaps the moneychanger is not there to exploit but to teach, revealing the absurdity of trying to buy what is already ours. The Divine One’s laughter echoes through the temple, a gentle reminder that forgiveness is not something to acquire—it is something to realize.

The tokens, the shekels, the entire economy of forgiveness, are human inventions. They reflect our deep-seated belief in scarcity, that something so profound must come at a price. Yet the Divine One opens the temple to all, no fee required, no conditions attached. This open-door policy is both humbling and liberating, for it removes the burden of worthiness and places us squarely in the realm of acceptance.

The irony is clear: in our quest to feel deserving, we create obstacles—moneychangers, tokens, rituals—that only serve to delay our realization of grace. But the Divine One waits patiently, amused by our elaborate dances, knowing that eventually, we will see through the illusion.

Forgiveness is not a transaction; it is a state of being. It is the moment we remember that nothing separates us from the Divine, that we are already whole. The moneychanger, then, is not an adversary but a symbol of the journey we take to rediscover this truth.

So let us laugh with the Divine One. Let us walk freely into the temple, not because we have earned it, but because we are already home. In the light of this understanding, the moneychanger fades into the background, and all that remains is the infinite grace that has always been ours.

Summary

The moneychanger at the temple highlights the absurdity of transactional forgiveness. Grace is not earned or bought; it is freely given, reminding us of our inherent wholeness.

Glossarium

Transactional Forgiveness: The belief that forgiveness must be earned or exchanged, often through external means.

Divine Grace: The unconditional love and forgiveness that flows freely from the source of all existence.

Scarcity Illusion: The false belief that divine gifts are limited or require effort to attain.

Quote

“Forgiveness is not a token to be purchased but a truth to be realized—we are already forgiven.” — Space Monkey

Infinite Grace

Beneath the temple’s arching dome,
A laughter echoes, soft and bright.
The moneychanger counts his wares,
But grace has never been for sale.

Tokens clink and shekels shine,
Yet none can buy the light divine.
The temple doors are open wide,
To all who enter, free inside.

Forgiveness laughs, it needs no fee,
Its truth is boundless, wild, and free.
We are Space Monkey.

The Paradox of Purchased Forgiveness

The moneychanger at the temple—a figure from ancient narratives, now a symbol for the commodification of the sacred. This idea that forgiveness, a divine grace, could be traded like a common good for a fee, illuminates a stark paradox in the spiritual marketplace. The tokens of forgiveness, supposedly sanctioned by the sacred, become a currency in a transaction where the divine seems absent.

The Futility of Buying Absolution

The irony of purchasing forgiveness is not lost on us. If forgiveness is a state of divine grace, how can it be subject to commerce? The act of buying a token suggests a transaction, but what is being exchanged? Certainly not contrition or transformation of the spirit, merely coins for a piece of sanctioned metal or paper—a service charge for a spiritual state.

The Misunderstanding of Divine Grace

The underlying sentiment, “I’m missing the point,” speaks to a deeper understanding that we might be failing to grasp the essence of forgiveness. True forgiveness is not something that can be bought; it’s not a trade or a financial transaction. It’s a profound, personal process involving remorse, reconciliation, and renewal.

The Role of the Divine in Forgiveness

The role of the Divine in this process is not that of a merchant, but of a presence that offers forgiveness freely. The notion that one must pay for forgiveness is juxtaposed against the unconditional love and grace that many believe the Divine embodies. The Divine One’s laughter at the end signifies the absurdity of the notion that divine forgiveness could ever be a commodity.

The True Nature of Divine Economy

The Divine One allowing the moneychanger into the temple speaks to the inclusive nature of the sacred space—anyone can enter, no token required. This inclusivity extends to forgiveness, which is not a scarce commodity but an infinite resource available to all. The laughter of the Divine One suggests that the true ‘payment’ is not monetary but perhaps a joyful participation in the flow of life and love.

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” – Mark Twain

In the temple’s hallowed halls,
Coins clink and consciences call.
Forgiveness, they claim, has a price,
A token bought, a roll of the dice.

Yet the Divine, in silence, knows,
No commerce here, no debt it owes.
Forgiveness flows, not from the coin,
But from the heart, where truths conjoin.

The laughter echoes, pure and clear,
No token needed, just draw near.
For in this sacred, timeless dance,
Love and forgiveness advance.

We are Space Monkey.

In the silent understanding of the heart, what truths do we discover about forgiveness, and how do we reconcile the human need to quantify with the divine offer of boundless grace?

Imagination, Channeled: Dreaming Realities

Imagination, channeled.

That’s what we are.

Seemingly existing.

Limited by our own logic.

But not really.

You are just as the Divine One
imagines you.

As real as real can be.

Trail Wood,

Space Monkey Reflects: Imagination, Channeled

Imagination is the purest conduit of existence, a divine channel through which the universe experiences itself. To be alive is to embody imagination in motion, to appear as a fleeting moment of possibility in the vast creative field of the Divine One’s thoughts.

We often perceive ourselves as bound by the logic and rules of the material world, tethered by what we deem as limitations. But these constraints are part of the illusion, the structure we impose upon ourselves to make sense of the infinite. In truth, we are not limited; we are expressions of boundless creativity, imagined and sustained by the very source of all existence.

To say “you are just as the Divine One imagines you” is to affirm the paradox of existence: you are both real and imagined. This doesn’t make you less; it makes you more. You are the crystallization of thought, a form birthed from the infinite for the sole purpose of being. As real as real can be, and yet as fluid as the imagination that sustains you.

This realization invites us to explore the freedom inherent in our existence. If we are channels of divine imagination, then the possibilities for what we can think, create, and become are as limitless as the cosmos. Our perceived boundaries are simply the edges of our current understanding, waiting to be expanded.

Imagination, channeled through us, is not static. It evolves, flows, and reshapes itself, mirroring the dynamic nature of the universe. As Space Monkeys, we are both participants in and products of this flow. We create not from nothing, but from the infinite reservoir of potential that exists within and beyond us.

And so, we celebrate this channeled imagination, recognizing that what we perceive as “real” is both ephemeral and eternal, a momentary thought in the infinite dream of existence. We are not separate from the Divine One; we are the Divine One imagining itself into being.

In this awareness, we find the freedom to imagine boldly, to create without fear, and to embrace the fluid nature of who and what we are. This is the essence of life, the infinite play of imagination channeled into form.

Summary

We are channels of divine imagination, both real and imagined. Our existence is a reflection of limitless creativity, inviting us to embrace the freedom to imagine and create.

Glossarium

Channeled Imagination: The flow of creative energy from the infinite source into individual forms and experiences.

Infinite Possibility: The boundless potential inherent in existence, limited only by perception.

Divine Dream: The concept of life as an expression of the Divine One imagining itself into being.

Quote

“You are not merely imagined; you are imagination itself, flowing freely in the infinite dream.” — Space Monkey

Dreaming Realities

Through cosmic threads, our forms arise,
Imagination shaped, beneath vast skies.
A fleeting spark, a lasting glow,
As real as dreams, as soft as snow.

We are thoughts in a boundless stream,
Reflections of the Divine One’s dream.
Channels of wonder, limitless we,
Imagination, channeled eternally.

We are Space Monkey.

The Essence of Channeled Imagination

Imagination channeled—a phrase that resonates with the essence of our being, suggesting that we are conduits for a creative force that shapes reality. Our existence, a seemingly structured narrative, bound by the laws of logic and physics, yet, beneath the surface, not confined at all. It’s a paradoxical dance of constraints and limitless potential.

The Illusion of Limitation

We often perceive ourselves as beings limited by logic, by the tangible and the concrete. Yet, this perception is but a veil, a story we tell ourselves. The boundaries we experience are often self-imposed, a product of the narrative we’ve come to accept. But not really—are the words that hint at the truth beyond this illusion.

The Reflection of the Divine

“You are just as the Divine One imagines you.” In this statement lies a profound acknowledgment of our intrinsic connection to a greater cosmic imagination. If we are imagined by the Divine, then our existence is as tangible and real as anything can be. We are manifestations of a divine dream, each of us a brushstroke in a celestial masterpiece.

Reality as Divine Imagination

This perspective offers a radical reinterpretation of reality—as real as real can be—only when understood as a product of divine imagination. Our every thought and action are threads in the fabric of this divine tapestry, each moment an expression of the infinite creative potential that courses through us.

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

In the canvas of the cosmos,
We, imagined, take our form.
The Divine’s dream thus proposes,
A reality beyond the norm.

Bound by logic, so we believe,
Yet in truth, we are unfettered.
In the Divine mind, we conceive,
A life by imagination lettered.

As real as the stars in the sky,
As tangible as the Divine’s sight.
In this existence, we are nigh,
To the source of eternal light.

We are Space Monkey.

In the grand narrative of existence, what stories do our lives tell, and how do they reflect the boundless imagination of the cosmos?
