In the endless blue, where giants roam and hunters prowl,
there lives the squid - soft, silent, and often overlooked.
He does not have the shark’s teeth.
He does not have the turtle’s shell.
He does not have the dolphin’s speed or the whale’s voice.
But the squid has something else.
He has patience.
He has awareness.
And most of all - he has the wisdom to move wisely, not loudly.
While others fight to rule the sea, the squid studies its rhythm.
He floats where he cannot be seen.
He waits where others rush.
And when danger comes, he does not waste time with pride or stubbornness.
He releases his ink - a soft cloud of confusion - and disappears into safety.
Not running in fear,
but choosing survival over ego.
At night, he glows softly - not to brag,
but to speak quietly in a dark world that light still exists, even if small.
He does not always win.
Sometimes he loses, sometimes he flees, sometimes he hides.
But he endures.
He adapts.
And because of that, he lives on - long after many fierce warriors of the sea have faded.
The squid teaches us:
"You do not need to roar to be strong.
You do not need to conquer to be wise.
Know when to hold still.
Know when to let go.
And in the quiet moments, you will find your power."
