There was a UFO in the sky, but that wasn’t what caught my attention. Sasquatch was on the move again, but he didn’t notice Nessie. And anyway, Nessie had absolutely nothing to do with my story. I kept getting side-tracked. My mind was clearly elsewhere and it was difficult to focus. I found myself metaphorically pointing at things that weren’t there. Or were they? Why was I so utterly captivated by this indescribable nothingness that never actually appeared?
The Allure of the Unseen and Unexplained
In the cosmic dance of our thoughts, the mysterious and the unexplained often hold an irresistible allure. A UFO in the sky, Sasquatch on the move, Nessie in the depths – these entities, whether real or imagined, represent the unknown, the uncharted territories of our understanding. Yet, intriguingly, it’s not these fantastical elements that captivate us most. It’s something else, something indescribable, an elusive nothingness that draws our attention away from the extraordinary.
The Distraction of the Mind
Our minds are curious wanderers, often drifting into realms of imagination and speculation. In this journey, we find ourselves pointing at things that may not be there, or perhaps are there in forms we cannot yet comprehend. This tendency to get side-tracked, to wander into the realms of the fantastical, is a testament to the boundless creativity and curiosity inherent in our consciousness.
Captivation by the Intangible
What is this indescribable nothingness that never actually appeared, yet holds us in thrall? It could be a metaphor for the unanswerable questions of existence, the mysteries that lie just beyond our grasp. It’s a space of potential, of possibilities unformed and undefined. This nothingness represents the infinite, the void from which all creation springs, and to which it inevitably returns.
The Paradox of Focus and Distraction
In our attempt to focus, we often find our minds wandering, drawn to the intangible, the inexplicable. This paradox is a fundamental aspect of our nature. In seeking clarity, we encounter ambiguity; in searching for answers, we find more questions. This endless cycle of focus and distraction, clarity and confusion, is the rhythm of our existential dance.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the captivating power of the unseen and the unexplained, as exemplified by our fascination with UFOs, Sasquatch, and Nessie. These elements, while intriguing, divert us from an even more profound captivation: the allure of an indescribable nothingness. This nothingness, representing the mysteries of existence and the potential of the unknown, highlights the paradoxical nature of our minds, constantly oscillating between focus and distraction, clarity and ambiguity.

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” – Albert Einstein
In the sky, a UFO, a fleeting glance,
On the ground, Sasquatch’s silent dance.
In the depths, Nessie hides away,
Yet it’s the nothingness that leads us astray.
Our minds wander, dream, and delve,
Into mysteries, deep and well-woven selve.
In this dance of the unknown and unseen,
We find the essence of being, serene.
We invite thoughts on the mesmerizing nature of the unknown and how it shapes our perception and imagination.
