My Octopus Teacher

Roughly two weeks ago I’ve seen documentary called My Octopus Teacher. It was hard time for me, I’ve been trapped in the news about Ukraine and the war and my mood was not really good. But then I came across this amazing movie. I watched it and when I say I watched it, I mean I didn’t take my eyes off the screen – which is unusual for me. And after that I realize it’s just my own choice what information I accept and how I create my reality. It’s my own task to keep myself positive.

Except the fact that it took me out of my bad mood, it gave me much more. When I finished watching I’ve been so excited and I felt like I want to go, jump into the ocean and make my own octopus friend. Like: “OMG!!!! Octopuses are so amazing!!”. But it’s not about that. Everyone cannot be Craig Foster. BUT! Everyone can be as awesome as Craig Foster and that’s what the life should be about.

I feel like humans lost big part of themselves by escaping from nature and fighting against it and against other humans. We lost something inside us and we’re trying to fill this empty space with technology, fights, drugs, flying to Mars, money… This is the way how the system taught us. But that’s not the right way. We’re destroying everything. Not just ourselves, but the whole planet and other species. We’re looking for other life in this universe, but we don’t understand ourselves. We don’t know much about the world on our planet, otherwise we would not act like this, right? We are acting like we’re something else, we’re isolating ourselves inside our flats in a huge cities. We don’t know how to appreciate beauty around us.

When I dance through the city and watching all the trees, smelling the flowers, talking to bees, people must be thinking I’m mad. But I’m rather mad than selling my soul. It’s pain for me to see the ignorance. It’s painful that people are blind. But I cannot become depressed, I have to shine the light and give the love. And the biggest gift will be if you do the same.

I don’t believe in any single politician. They are just someone who is trying to get power over others. I believe in real people, who can give and receive love. Who can explore and reconnect to nature and bring this love to their families. Who are inspiring without any force. We don’t have to build huge building and send rockets to the space. The biggest satisfaction will come only through experiencing the universe we already have around and inside of us with love.
