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.
