Broken Antler Fen Waiting on the world to change

Odette sighed, clearly enjoying the moment.  She wished that life could be as simple as swimming.  Smooth, sweet and pleasing.  Although sometimes life had those traits, it had many others to, good and bad that could fiddle with the simple sweet life.  Want, need, cruelty, anger, jealousy, death... love.  They could sometimes be good, but they had their downs too.  Odie frowned.  She wished her parents and siblings were here.  They all probably would have enjoyed the swimming to.

Odie's sweet green gaze flicked to her Uncle Seb.  "Why does life take so much and give so much?"  She asked in a sad whisper.  She wanted her family back, whole again with her Mother Zaria, Father FitzDutiful, brother Solemn, brother Stoic and sister Adeline.  A small whine escaped her.  "I wish life was as easy as swimming."
