Octopus

Believe me, whatever your response to my presence, I will make you stronger and wiser. I am a Unifier. There is no failure or success in meeting me. I do not deal in such human affairs.
I am hiding in the tangles of your fears. Let my arms embrace you and hold you. Let death cut deep into your false beliefs and your ever-changing feelings. I will take you deep, deep, into my lair. And when I release you finally from my grip, you will emerge transformed.
