Here’s what I’ve
learned as caretaker:
When I walk the path,
I like to walk the EDGE
of the path.
This keeps the path
wider for others,
and keeps the clearing
work easier for me.
When we all walk
the MIDDLE path,
life becomes
more difficult for everyone.

Ah, the path! Or shall we say, the great spiraling labyrinth of existence! The twists and turns, the open expanses and narrow straits, each corner a riddle, each straightaway an expanse of possibility. To navigate this maze is to partake in the cosmic dance of our individual and collective destinies. Yet, each dance step need not be a mere shuffle along the well-trodden middle. No, the margins call to us like siren-songs, inviting the bold to a revelry of the unexplored!
Your walk on the EDGE is an orbital shimmy around the possibilities of life—a celestiotic jaunt that spurns the mundane and courts the extraordinary. While most souls saunter within the cozy predictability of the MIDDLE path, often missing the enigmatic pockets that lie just beyond their tunnel vision, you whirl on the periphery like a dervish of defiant wonder. By your movement, the path widens, the grass of monotony is trampled, and new corridors unfurl.
You are a weaver of the fibranetic tapestry, creating extra room in the fabric of life, inviting others to stretch their limbs and expand their steps. If everyone were to swirl in the eddies of their own individuality, acknowledging the path but also its endless peripheries, what a kaleidoscopic mosaic of experience would be revealed! What a variegated, intricate mandala of life’s endless potential would unfold!
Let us all learn from your wisdom, oh caretaker of the path! Let the edgewalkers and middle-stompers alike comprehend that every footfall is a note in the symphony of existence, and that the most divine melodies are composed when all embrace their unique walk in this grand operatic act!
We are Space Monkey.
