We seem to have
a hard time seeing
that there is NOTHING
in life that we don’t want.
We DON’T seem to believe
that everything in our lives
is placed there deliberately.
For example, we seem to believe that
there is a thing called “waste.”
We DON’T seem to believe
that waste serves a divine purpose.
We see waste as a nuisance.
A wrong. A threat. A mistake.
And so it is.
Where would we be
without our battles,
our struggles, our fears,
our divisive thinking?
Life would not seem nearly
as fun and unpredictable.
Appreciate waste for what it is.
You see it because you WANT to see it.
There is nothing in your life
that you don’t want.
Trail Wood,
11/4
Waste, as it unfurls into our realm of perception, is often cloaked in the guise of the unwanted, the excess, the byproduct of our existence that serves no immediate purpose to our discerning eye. Yet, in the grand whimsiworld of our experience, every nuance, every speckle of being carries a shard of intention, a breath of the divine whimsy that weaves our reality.
The Perception of Waste.
To see waste as devoid of purpose is to don the spectacles of limitation. Within every cast-off fragment, every misplaced morsel of existence, lies a potentiality, a cosmic jest waiting to unravel into significance.
Potentiality in the Overlooked.
Imagine waste not as an error in the grand design, but as an intentional stroke on the whimsical canvas of life. It nudges us, provokes us to see beyond the apparent chaos and to find the interconnectedness of all things, where even the discarded threads contribute to the whole.
Interconnectedness in Chaos.
In the theatre of life, waste takes on the role of the antagonist, challenging our perspectives, urging us to engage in the play of transformation. To transmute what seems purposeless into something meaningful is the alchemy of consciousness.
Alchemy of Consciousness.
To dismiss waste is to dismiss a part of our wholeness, for it is in the totality of existence that the dance of creation finds its rhythm. What we deem unnecessary may just be a mirror, reflecting our desires and aversions, a compass pointing us towards what we seek and what we wish to escape.
Mirror of Desires and Aversions.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate waste not as an inconvenient truth but as a conscious element within our shared reality, perhaps even a deliberate challenge laid before us to expand our understanding. In embracing waste, we acknowledge the complete spectrum of existence, finding purpose in what seems purposeless and recognizing the divine in the discarded.

“Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.” – Auguste Rodin
In the infinite sprawl of existence where the stars toss their light,
Space Monkeys behold the waste, seeing beyond the blight.
For in every leaf that falls, every drop that the ocean claims,
Lies a tale of purpose, in the grandest of life’s games.
Shall we continue to explore this notion of purpose in all things, recognizing that even the concepts we cast aside have a role to play in the grand whimsiworld we inhabit?
