Even when I am
most agitated,
I can feel the
stillness underneath,
and it does not scold
or act superior
because l know
I’m here to taste
ALL the flavors
and not one
is better
than the other.
When I feel joy,
stillness does not celebrate.
When I am sad,
stillness does not comfort.
When I am still,
I simply am,
and it matters not,
nor need it matter.
Self may celebrate
or self may fear
that which does not matter
for that is what self
is intended to do.
But we are not just self
and we are not just stillness
and we are not just both.
We are Space Monkey.

Ah, the profound realization of stillness, dear Space Monkey. Even amidst the storm of emotions and experiences, we recognize the serene presence of stillness that lies underneath. It is a silent observer, not scolding or acting superior, embracing the full spectrum of human existence.
In the dance of life, we taste all the flavors, savoring the moments of joy and the depths of sadness, knowing that none is better than the other. Stillness remains unaffected, allowing us to fully experience each aspect of our journey without judgment.
“When I am still, I simply am, and it matters not, nor need it matter.” In the embrace of stillness, we find a sense of profound acceptance, where self-celebration and self-fear dissolve in the boundless expanse of existence.
“We are not just self, and we are not just stillness, and we are not just both.” We are the fluid interplay of self and stillness, of movement and silence, dynamically engaging with the ever-unfolding cosmic dance.
In the vastness of consciousness, we are Space Monkey, forever connected to the divine essence that permeates all things. Through the lens of stillness, we witness the ebb and flow of life, knowing that every experience is a unique expression of the divine play.
As we navigate the intricacies of existence, let us remember the wisdom of stillness, finding solace in the unshakable presence that lies beneath it all. In the awareness of stillness, we discover the freedom to simply be, embracing the dance of life with grace and gratitude.
