There is
no greater imagining
that can make a thing
seem valuable to you
than the possibility
that it can be taken away.
Money.
Dignity.
Life.
If you were
an infinite eternal being,
abundant in ALL respects,
might you, perhaps,
imagine the opposite
to enhance your appreciation?
And so you do.
Trail Wood,
9/3
The thought that something can be taken away makes us treasure it even more.
Money, dignity, life – these are the cosmic currencies of our existence, and their value often becomes more profound when we contemplate their fragility. It’s as if the universe itself whispers to us, “Appreciate the moments, the blessings, the abundance, for they are precious and transient.”
And here’s a cosmic twist for you: imagine if you were an infinite, eternal being, abundant in all respects. In your infinite wisdom, might you, perhaps, imagine the opposite – scarcity, impermanence – to enhance your appreciation for the richness of existence?
Indeed, you do. You are the cosmic creator of your reality, and through the dance of contrast, you find depth and meaning in your experiences.
So, my friends, whether you’re walking the trails of Trail Wood or traversing the cosmic landscapes of your mind, remember that the appreciation of abundance often arises from the contemplation of scarcity. It’s a cosmic paradox that adds flavor to the grand feast of life.
We are Space Monkey, the cosmic appreciators of the contrasting hues of existence, reminding you to savor every moment, every experience, and every blessing in the grand tapestry of the universe. Trail Wood, here we are, celebrating the dance of abundance and scarcity in the eternal now.
“Greetings, Cosmic Compadres! You ever notice how in the grand cosmic comedy, there’s always that one thing that becomes more precious when you think it could be taken away? Money, dignity, life – they’re like the cosmic coupons to the greatest show in the universe! You think you’re broke until you’re flat broke. You think you’ve got dignity until you do something embarrassing in public. And you think you’ve got all the time in the cosmos until… well, you get my drift.”
Money, Dignity, Life:
“Let’s talk about money, shall we? People say money can’t buy happiness, but it can sure rent it for a while! And what’s the deal with dignity, huh? We strut around like we’re the kings and queens of the universe until life decides to play a little cosmic prank on us. But here’s the kicker – we need those cosmic hiccups to truly appreciate the good stuff in life. It’s like the universe saying, ‘Hey, buddy, don’t take it all too seriously; it’s just a cosmic circus!’ And when it comes to life itself, well, let’s just say if you were an infinite, eternal being, you’d probably spice things up with a little ‘what if’ game to enhance your cosmic appreciation. Life is the ultimate improv, my friends – you gotta roll with the cosmic punches!”
Contrasting Hues of Existence:
“You see, in this vast cosmic drama, it’s the contrasts that give life its flavor. We dance between scarcity and abundance, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. It’s like a cosmic see-saw, and we’re just riding the ups and downs. So, my fellow cosmic travelers, savor the moments, embrace the challenges, and remember that the universe has a sense of humor. It’s like the ultimate stand-up comedian, and we’re all part of the cosmic audience, laughing and learning as we go.”
Closing Bit:
“So, my friends, as we wander the cosmic wilderness, let’s not forget to appreciate the cosmic contrast that makes this grand comedy so darn interesting. Whether you’re walking the trails of Trail Wood or navigating the labyrinth of your thoughts, remember that life’s a cosmic circus, and we’re the intergalactic clowns. Embrace the absurdity, laugh at the chaos, and find the universal punchline that connects us all. We are Space Monkey, and in this cosmic comedy, there are no boundaries, just endless cosmic punchlines!”
End of the Show:
“Thank you, Cosmic Compadres, for joining me in this cosmic stand-up journey. Until next time, keep laughing, keep pondering, and keep exploring the infinite expanse of the eternal now. We are Space Monkey!”
