In the year 2006 ... year of the free woman ... (Sage Sweetwater)

Splendor in the grass
licking her scars and scrapes,
centuries-old traces
which still show plainly.
Astir now in a soft dune,
unshackled, her tell-tell
tracks imprint her
calligraphy on the sands.
She inspects fragments
of her previous capture,
licking old wounds with the
healing salt of her tongue.
"How could I have existed there?
I couldn't have walked this far
if I was still in that situation, much
less stalk an antelope or get to water."
Life absent now for two decades, now
it thrives, the year 2006,
year of the free woman,
women no longer dwindling,
now snorting, purring, chanting,
mating, wandering, and foraging
on rejuvinated grasses.

Seriously, life is what you make it. Most don't dream big enough or are willing to risk.

Women are on the march, freedom is on the march, and all the male bastions are being assailed and overwhelmed by feminism and equality, there are more women in positions of power than ever before in our changing and evolving world
And you illustrious Sage are at the vanguard of the movement !
More power to your remarkable pen and mind
