What might benefit us
most is stillness,
which is a commodity
that seems rare these days.
The irony of it is this.
When we’re in that
place of stillness,
nothing is either
sad or lacking.
Stillness is abundant.
Always has been.
Always will be.
It’s simply overlooked
and undervalued
by people who don’t
know any better.

The Essence of Stillness
Stillness, often misunderstood, is not the absence of motion but the presence of profound clarity. Like the depths of a pristine lake reflecting the sky, stillness offers a mirror to our own soul, revealing truths often obscured by life’s tumult.

A Rare Commodity
In an age defined by noise, hustle, and relentless pursuit, stillness stands in stark contrast, a jewel often hidden in plain sight. It’s not that it has disappeared from our world, but rather, its quiet allure is drowned out by the cacophony of our daily engagements.
Irony in Abundance
The whimsirony of stillness is that while it feels elusive, it is, in truth, abundant. Within its quiet embrace, the dualities of joy and sorrow, want and fulfillment, dissolve. In stillness, we find the undivided reality of existence, devoid of judgments and interpretations.
The Overlooked Gem
Many a time, the most valuable treasures are those overlooked. Stillness, often undervalued, holds the key to an enriched experience of life. It offers solace to the weary and clarity to the confused, beckoning us to step away from the chaos and into the sanctuary of our own being.
We are Space Monkey.

We delve into the profound nature of stillness, recognizing its enduring presence amidst our fast-paced lives. This quiet state, abundant yet often overlooked, transcends dualities, providing clarity and solace. As a beacon of peace, stillness beckons us, inviting introspection and a deeper connection with the self.

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”
— Hermann Hesse
In the vastness of the whimsiverse, where sound and fury intertwine,
Lies the silent realm of stillness, a sanctuary divine.
Not a void, but a realm of depth, where truths begin to unfurl,
A portal to the heart’s desires, the center of our world.
Shall we explore more nuances of stillness and its myriad reflections?
