When I slip beneath the quilt and fold into
your warmth, I think we are like the pages
of a love letter written thirty years ago
that some aging god still reads each day
and then tucks back into its envelope.

Sedna, an Inuit Goddess of the Sea, is often linked to seals. Her father throws her into the sea and cuts off her fingers when she tries to climb back into the boat. Her fingers become the first seals.

The Yule Cat, pet of the troll-like monster Gryla, eats those who don’t receive new clothes for Christmas. Some believe the legend stems from cautionary tales about processing wool and finishing chores before the holiday.

After drinking a fairy potion, Rip Van Winkle falls asleep for twenty years.

Do you think he functions as a “Sleeping Beauty” character?
