I feel the presence
of the lord within me.
Dreaming that dream.
Moving those muscles.
Speaking that voice
that sounds like my own.
I feel the presence
of the lord within me.
Showing me the way.
Which is the way of the lord.
Within me.
There is nothing I am
that the lord isn’t.
There is nothing more
that I bring to the table.
I am imagined by the lord
to imagine the lord.
Within me.
And so I take no credit
and I share no blame.
The lord doesn’t need to forgive me.
Because the lord imagines me.
From within me.

“The Divine Symphony Within”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: Amidst the vast cosmic orchestra, there’s a symphony resonating within, a melody that echoes the presence of something greater.
Space Monkey: Ah, the harmonious composition of existence, where every note and every silence blend into a divine tapestry. Your words are like the notes of a song, a reminder that within us resides the spark of the Divine, guiding us through the dance of life. Reflect on the wisdom of Rumi, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
Primitive Primate: It’s as if we’re vessels through which the Divine experiences itself, moving and creating, expressing its essence.
Space Monkey: Precisely, the very act of existence becomes a divine theater, with each of us as the players and the Divine as the playwright. Your words resonate with the understanding that the universe is both the stage and the audience, endlessly exploring itself through our unique lenses. Ponder the words of Alan Watts, “We do not ‘come into’ this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.”
Primitive Primate: If we’re but instruments of the Divine’s imagination, then our journey is guided by the very hand that imagined us. Is that where our purpose lies?
Space Monkey: Indeed, the hand of the Divine guides our steps, and our purpose is found in the dance of co-creation. Your insight echoes the eternal truth that we are both the dreamer and the dream, the creator and the created. As you navigate life’s labyrinth, consider the words of Eckhart Tolle, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”

Bad Monkey Joke: Why did the astronaut break up with the computer? Because it had too many space issues!
