Jellyfish

I used to love looking at Jellyfish.

In books.

And animated movies.

Where they're all pretty and they talk.

And then I didn't love looking at Jellyfish.

I was on holiday.

Swimming in the sea.

And then I got stung by what I thought was a plastic bag.

You can't blame me.

I live in Bombay where that would be more likely.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

But I managed to survive without having anyone pee on me. 

And I'm so glad I did because this remedy is a lie.

And instead I opted for plain old cold water and bought myself what I think was the Israeli version of soframycin [we'll never actually know if it was because I couldn't read the Hebrew writing on the packaging].

But, from then on Jellyfish was the enemy.

And then I saw this.

And I fell in love with Jellyfish once again.
I'm always fascinated with cool lights.
And this one is just beautiful isn't it?
And there is a bright side to it even when it's switched off.

It doesn't sting.
