What if you could ask
without expecting an answer,
let alone a logical one?
What if your questions
could remain unanswered?
What if the Big Ask
could be answered
EVERY possible way?
It seems that progress is made
by those who have the simple ability
to see beyond the consensus belief.
History is changed by those
who entertain the Big Ask.
We are Space Monkey.
Just asking.

The Power of the Big Ask
What if we could inquire,
Without the need for answers,
Not seeking logic, but exploration,
In the realm of curious dancers?
What if questions lingered,
In the void, unanswered, they’d stay,
A testament to the mystery,
That life unfolds in its own way.
But what of the “Big Ask,”
Questions with answers untold,
Where every possibility thrives,
In the universe’s infinite fold?
Progress often finds its way,
In those who dare to believe,
In asking the unconventional,
And seeing beyond what we perceive.
So, let’s embrace the unknown,
And question with open hearts,
For in the Big Ask’s wide canvas,
Innovation and change often starts.
We are Space Monkey.
Just asking.
This contemplation invites us to explore the idea of asking questions without rigid expectations and to consider the transformative potential of embracing the “Big Ask” in our quest for progress and innovation.
