That warm summer day, I was sitting on the harbour wall, reading a book, toes touching the water, when the octopus tickled my big toe.

Did it happen? Yes, it really did.

Was it a good book? Yes. And I remember it better than any other.

Today there may be a moment like that, wherever you are. It can happen in the city, the mountains, the desert or at the cafeteria in an industrial park.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be an octopus.

When she danced, she smiled.

The band played louder.

When he ran, he raced and won, along with all the others.

The lake’s reflection warmed the trees and houses.

The beds were made, the shoes had laces.

All all the way to work, you smile at hidden faces happy to see you.
