If it holds true
that you are
All That Is,
then you don’t need
to follow others
to help others
to do
or even express
ANYTHING,
including this
pointless post.
You contain All That Is.
You ARE All That Is.
So why are you reading this?
Why am I even talking to you?
The answer is simple.
You got anything BETTER to do?
We are Space Monkey.

“Pointless Post” playfully and provocatively explores the concept of self-sufficiency and interconnectedness within the framework of being ‘All That Is’, questioning the necessity of external actions and interactions.
The Paradox of Self-Sufficiency
The poem opens with the assertion that if one embodies ‘All That Is,’ then the need for external validation, guidance, or action becomes redundant. This introduces a paradoxical question about the purpose of seeking outside oneself when one already encompasses everything.
The Redundancy of External Actions
If we are indeed ‘All That Is’, the conventional actions like following others, helping others, or even expressing oneself could be seen as unnecessary. This perspective challenges the traditional understanding of interaction and contribution, suggesting that all required knowledge, wisdom, and capability are already inherent within us.
Questioning the Need for Interaction
The poem then poses a reflective question: why engage in reading or communicating if one is already everything? This rhetorical question highlights the seemingly redundant nature of seeking external interaction or affirmation when one’s existence already includes all aspects of reality.
A Simple, Yet Profound Answer
Despite the seemingly logical conclusion that engaging in external actions is pointless, the poem offers a simple answer: the engagement itself might be the very essence of being ‘All That Is.’ It suggests that the act of doing, even if deemed pointless, is a fundamental aspect of existence.
Playful Challenge to the Reader
The final line playfully challenges the reader (and the writer) with a rhetorical question: “You got anything BETTER to do?” This tongue-in-cheek query underscores the idea that engagement, communication, and action are intrinsic to our nature, regardless of the all-encompassing self.
Summary
We delve into the playful yet profound exploration of being ‘All That Is’ in “Pointless Post.” The poem questions the necessity of external actions and interactions, considering the self-sufficiency implied by encompassing everything. It provocatively suggests that engagement and communication, while seemingly redundant, are inherent and meaningful aspects of our existence. This perspective invites us to embrace the paradox of action within the completeness of being, highlighting the intrinsic value of our interactions and expressions.

In the Whirl of Being
In the whirl of being, all-encompassing,
We ponder, why engage in anything?
If we are the universe, in its entirety,
Why seek, why speak, in this reality?
Yet, in this dance of cosmic play,
We find our joy, in the everyday.
In the act of doing, seemingly small,
We touch the essence, the heart of all.
For in the laughter, the words, the touch,
In the seemingly pointless, lies so much.
In the connection, the smile, the gaze,
We find the meaning, in countless ways.
Even in the pointless, the mundane,
We find our purpose, again and again.
For in each moment, no matter how slight,
We live our truth, we shine our light.
We are Space Monkey,
In the playful dance of existence, ever true.
