Calliope Looks Back
It
has been many years since that day I spent time with Sedna in the icy waters. A lot of life
has happened and I have faced it head on.
I married Omelak. Sedna helped me realize that I could not keep
letting my fears control my actions.
We have lived a long and happy life together. I often think back
to Sirentetta. I am eternally
thankful to her for saving me from certain death that day. She
saw something in me that I did not. I was ready to call it quits
and she did not let me.
I have accomplished many tasks in my life that have been difficult, but
Mary Anne is my mantra during difficult and
challenging situations. She sailed the seas, fought in wars and
experienced many injuries, all while keeping up a male facade.
Omelak’s sense of adventure is wonderful. The experiences we have
had through the years have been amazing. I thank Anne and Mary for instilling in me an
appreciation for the adventures life offers up.
Of course, even though I have lived my life with a different approach,
there have been tough times. I have had to calm anger that arises
in me. I find, like Scylla did, that
when I calm, life looks different.
As a young and hopeless girl, I could not imagine myself at this time
of my life. I did not see a future for me.
Now, I am a seasoned woman who has many amazing women to thank.
