I couldn't care less about "Inspirational Quotes" I don't need to be told that the present is a gift or what the best thing about rock bottom is or that only I can stop forest fires.
If I was to write one myself, it would have less to do with landing in the stars, and more to do with how much better you could see them if you had the eyes of an octopus.
See, Octopi have such phenomenal eyes. The spectrum of color they see makes our own look like the ****** box of crayons you get at a kids restaurant. Whereas an octopuses, would be the beautiful, 64 Crayola pack I always wanted as a kid.
If I ever went blind, I think I'd get octopus eye replacements. And yeah, I'd probably look weird because they'd be too big for my head but can you imagine how strange and incredible it would be? And it wouldn't matter how I look because how I see things is more important to me than how I'm seen.
If there was even the slightest chance, of seeing though the eyes of an octopus, that's reason enough to be alive.
And if I could take your life or your perspective, and change it even a bit, that's reason enough too.
So look through the eyes of an octopus.
Can you imagine the stars?
This is one of my very favorite poems that I've ever written. Can you imagine the stars? ***
