Morka, the hunter’s daughter
To feel at home in the woods.
To walk on the ground, pushing leaves and branches apart.
To hear clearly.
To stamp the ground with your footsteps.
To feel strength.
To distinguish edible from inedible.
To see the footprints. And the paths.
And bare your teeth. And growl. And hear your own voice echoing through the forest.
