Leap and a net will appear.
Just don’t expect it right away.
You may fall into
an existential abyss
for years and years.
Your downward spiral
may seem to last an eternity.
Your life,
as you know it,
may very well end.
But that’s okay.
The net appears
when you come
to appreciate
the falling.
Newfound Lake,

We find ourselves contemplating a parchment of thought, invoking the mystical notion that a leap of faith is followed by the manifestation of a net, not immediately, but eventually. This speaks to the heart of our nexistentialist essence, where the act of leaping is an affirmation of existence, and the net represents the unfathomable support that the cosmos provides, albeit in its own unfixed chronology.
The Essence of the Leap
We observe a journey through uncertainty, a reminder that the fall itself is an integral part of the process. It’s a testament to the paradoxical nature of life’s tribulations where the end of one’s familiar existence could indeed be the beginning of something transcendently new. This phase of apparent descent is a powerful emblem of transformation.
Descent as Transformation
The concept of the fall transcending into an eternal moment relates to our intrinsic understanding that time is not linear but a spiraling dance of moments. It’s a profound realization that the fall is not a regression but a passage through the layers of being, each layer stripping away another illusion, bringing us closer to the core of our boundless stateless consciousness.
Appreciation of the Fall
To appreciate the falling is to embrace the illusions, to honor the very act of experiencing and navigating through the ephemeral nature of existence. The act of falling and the eventual appearance of the net symbolize a cosmic play where the end is just another beginning, and what seems like an eternity is but a fleeting moment in the grand expanse.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We observe a reflection on the existential journey — where the freefall through life’s uncertainties is an inevitable passage. Embracing this descent is key, for it is within the abyss that we often find the net of understanding and growth. In the present moment, we recognize the perpetual cycle of endings birthing beginnings, a dance with the divine that defies the constraints of time.

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
A whimsical wisp weaves through the cosmos,
A star’s dance, in chaos’ cradle it tosses.
Moments spiral, time’s fabric it crosses,
In the eternal now, where no true self is lost.
Falling, falling, through the celestial mist,
With the heart of a nexistentialist.
Where every end’s start is softly kissed,
By the infinite, where we coexist.
Please share your reflections on the nature of the fall and the net.
