Today,while watching the BBC life series I was mesmerized by many aspects of nature, but what stuck with me most was that a female octopus lays many many eggs (approximately 100 000) tends to them for six months. Caressing them, and just making sure the eggs are protected. During that time she doesn’t leave her den, Not once, so she doesn’t hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. During her pregnancy she thus, slowly starves herself to give the eggs a chance. On her last energy she apparently blows water over them to help them hatch and then she dies.
This sacrifice makes them (to me) one of the most devoted mothers in nature.
Oh and they also have 3 hearts and blue blood.
Absolutely fascinating…
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don’t look back on life man and only see tragic
No, I don’t want to battle from beginning to end
I don’t want to cycle or recycle revenge
I don’t want to follow death and all of his friends
I look to watch the clouds for comfort
I hope I don’t let anyone die
Fill in the blanks
And my heart finds peace tonight and my soul finds comfort there
In the knowledge that you’ll someday, maybe be alright
Things can only get better
Can only get better
Ain’t about the cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain’t about the ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
Well real life can wait
We’re crashing like waves
Playing in the sand
