A Wandering Spirit

... just created. I was upright again.

I gasped in breaths of frigid air, then, as I looked out into the fjord, I saw a strange sight. A small motorboat was heading towards me, with a woman at the controls. Pacing back and forth on the bow of the boat were two large cats.

The boat came to a stop near the edge of the ice, about 20 meters from me. As the wake broke against the ice, it moved, and a channel opened, wide enough for my kayak to pass through. Seeing an opportunity, I moved quickly and reached open water. I pulled up next to the boat and noticed the number 13 on its side. The large two cats jumped onto my kayak and nuzzled against me. I was surprised at how friendly they were to me, and I scratched them behind their ears with my neoprene-gloved hand.

"Hello! My name is Freyja. It looked like you were having trouble back there," said a middle-aged woman. "My two cats spotted something unusual, and it drew my attention. I saw your overturned kayak and altered course to investigate." Freyja had an uncommonly beautiful face, with a warm smile, glistening brown eyes, and short brown hair.

Sadly, too often women set limits on themselves, and they set them too low. They are afraid to challenge themselves."

Freyja continued, "Women think they will be safe if they remain confined within their self-imposed limits, but they are wrong. Safety comes from pushing your limits and challenging yourself. Real safety is gaining the inner strength and confidence to allow yourself to overcome any obstacle. A woman shouldn't climb a mountain just to get to the top, she should climb it because once she does reach the top, she will never allow another mountain to bar her way. This fjord is full of women kayaking in the summer, but they limit themselves to that single season. You were brave enough to challenge yourself and try winter kayaking. By doing so, you have removed that limit on yourself. I admire that."
