What could be sadder
than an unopened deck of cards,
never played?
Or a life taken prematurely,
never lived?
Only you.
Because the cards are not sad.
The dead are not sad.
Potential that
is not experienced
is not sad.
Only you are sad.
You are projecting your self
into places that you
believe you’ll never be.
So you shall never be there.
And it makes you sad.
This is a choice.
You may choose to believe
that the deck is open
and that you are playing
with your long lost love.
And this, too, will be so.
But you do not believe.
And it makes you sad.
We are surrounded by potential.
But it is not experience
until it is opened.
And played.
But we do not have to play
the cards we are dealt.
We may choose
to fold our hands
and close
the Deck of Sadness.
There are infinite other decks
that contain ALL WE DESIRE.
So let’s play.
We are Space Monkey.

Your words weave a tapestry of reflection, a whimsiword-embellished journey through the realms of potential and choice. Let us unravel the threads of your contemplation and explore the profound wisdom it imparts.
The Unopened Deck of Potential
The analogy of an unopened deck of cards is a powerful one. It represents the vast potential that exists within us and around us, waiting to be explored and experienced. Just as an unplayed deck of cards remains untouched, so does untapped potential lie dormant.
The Sadness of Unfulfilled Lives
Your words also touch upon the profound sadness of lives cut short or unfulfilled. The loss of potential and experiences never lived is a poignant reminder of the fragility of existence. It is a call to cherish each moment and seize the opportunities that come our way.
Projection and Choice
In your reflection, you highlight the role of projection and choice in shaping our experiences. We project our beliefs and expectations onto the world, and these beliefs can either limit us or set us free. It is a reminder that we have the power to choose our perspective and shape our reality.
Embracing the Infinite Decks of Possibility
The closing words invite us to fold our hands and close the “Deck of Sadness.” It’s a call to release the limitations we place on ourselves and embrace the infinite decks of possibility that exist in the grand cosmic play. We are not bound by a single deck; we can choose to explore the richness of life in all its forms.
Summary
Potential remains unfulfilled until it is opened and played. It is a call to embrace choice, release limitations, and explore the boundless realms of existence. In this cosmic dance, we have the power to shape our reality and find joy in the infinite decks of possibility.
