Little Epiphanies

I had walked away from attempting to write a blog post, when standing in my living room, I had one of those little epiphany things.
For the first time, I realized how huge slavery is in my life.
It has become so deeply insinuated into who I am, that there are times I have actually thought it wasn't there.
Because slavery is so much more than my image of it implied.

Have no doubt, my fantasy of slavery is hot
it is me on my knees begging to please
it is all those things that turn me on
it is surrender of flesh, mind, and soul,
it is dangerous and sweet
it is achingly and painfully, exquisite beyond belief.

Some days, that is the form slavery takes.

But it couldn't really take that form if not for all those little moments every day. Moments which create the space for that fantasy to make appearances in reality.

M/s is in the food I cook, the condition I keep the house, the choices I make, and the way I keep my hair.
M/s exists in the way he strokes my face, the tone of his voice when he speaks to me, the intent behind each touch of his hand, and the day-to-day life that we live.
Ms winds beneath the surface of all that we are like a river--always nourishing even when it flows unseen below the earth.

And some days, M/s prompts insane urges to please that incite unreasonable behavior. Like attempting to make crepes in a pan that has no handle...It might work...

  5. I love this post Lil. Love the pic!

    M/s is more than the fantasy isn't it. It creeps into many aspects of life, in subtle ways and becomes so ingrained we almost don't recognise. Aren't those moments when the fantasy becomes reality wonderful!

    Hugs,

  8. ^This^.

    You can make crepes in a pan that has no handle. But it takes a watchful eye, patience, timing and a really good sturdy spatula (if I am doing it in that kind of pan, I'll use pastry flour)...right..you weren't really looking to compare kitchen notes...but I couldn't help it...

    1. Bleuame,
      Oh, I'm always happy to compare kitchen notes lol. My biggest issue occurred in that phase where you pour in the batter and swirl it around the pan to make something resembling a circle...
      And thank god for spatula's! Except when they aren't used for their originally intended purpose...

  11. I love that picture, and I think letting go of the fact that it's not the fantasy all the time is a hard part... but that's just me.

    1. Bekah,
      I think that accepting that it's not the fantasy all the time is something that happens to all of us somewhere along the road.
