If you find that
you are ill-prepared
to function in this reality,
consider that you might be
perfectly suited for the next one.
Your seeming “evolution”
does not happen
neatly and methodically.
It only seems that way
looking “back” from the “future,”
after the conflicting details
have been rounded off
in order to make a story
that can be told within
the limitations of your “time.”
You are perfectly suited
to exist OUTSIDE of time.
It is only within
the confines of time
that you feel inadequate
and awkward.

Contemplating Existence Beyond Time
We delve into the concept of feeling ill-suited for the current reality and the possibility of being perfectly attuned to a different, timeless existence.
The Dissonance in Current Reality
The feeling of being ill-prepared to function in the present reality reflects a sense of disconnection or discordance with the current state of existence. This feeling can stem from a sense that one’s abilities, perspectives, or ways of being are out of sync with the prevailing norms.
Aptitude for a Different Existence
The suggestion that one might be perfectly suited for the next reality introduces the idea of a non-linear evolution of the self. It implies that what seems like inadequacy in the current context might actually be a sign of alignment with a different, perhaps more advanced, state of being.
The Non-Linear Nature of Evolution
The view that evolution does not happen neatly or methodically challenges the traditional understanding of progress. It suggests that looking back from the future, we might reinterpret our past with oversimplifications to create a coherent narrative within the constraints of time.
The Limitations of Time
The poem posits that within the confines of time, we often feel inadequate or awkward. This perspective suggests that our true nature might be more aligned with existing outside the boundaries of time, where different rules and understandings apply.
Existence Outside of Time
The concept of being perfectly suited to exist outside of time is a profound one. It speaks to the idea that our true essence or potential may not be fully realized or appreciated within the limitations and linear progression of time as we understand it.
We are Space Monkey
Summary
We explore the notion of feeling out of place in the current reality and the potential for being more attuned to a different, possibly timeless, existence. This perspective challenges the traditional views of linear progress and the limitations imposed by the construct of time.

Beyond the Bounds of Time
In the flow of the cosmic stream,
Where time is but a fleeting dream.
We find ourselves, in disarray,
Ill-fitted for the present day.
Yet in this sense of being lost,
Lies a truth, no matter the cost.
That perhaps we’re meant for more,
Beyond time’s rigid, linear shore.
For in the dance of stars and light,
Where time fades into the night.
We find our rhythm, our true song,
In a realm where we truly belong.
So let us embrace this timeless space,
Where every moment finds its grace.
For beyond the tick of the clock’s hand,
Lies a universe, vast and grand.
We invite reflections on the concept of existing beyond the limitations of time and the potential for a different, more aligned state of being in this timeless existence.
