Reel You In
There are times in the course of our delicious D/s existence when the pressures of daily life intrude just a little too much. Days when there just does not seem to be enough energy or time left for devotion and service. When any possible spare moment seems only best suited for a nap or a slightly longer broken night of sleep. Days when there are simply too many competing demands for time, energy, affections, attention. And these days begin to add up. Then multiply. And before you know it, weeks and even months have passed in a blur of hastened effort moving from one task to the next. Self-will takes over and submission recedes as you march to the insistent beat of some other drummer; too busy to submit, no time for service, too much running to kneel.
But this is when you need it most. This is when the grounding you feel in your submission is more important than ever, the guidance, the goal orientation, the accountability, the structure. It is these things that counter the chaos. For it is in submission that the noise quiets, the voices still, the endless cacophony of the world around you recedes into a distant and meaningless hum of white noise. You need this. You cannot live without it, not at least in peace, tranquility and harmony.
So I reel you in. Ground you. Center you. Readjust and realign you. Make you make time. Hold you accountable. Give you reason to pause and kneel, think on your submission, and act upon it. This is not behavioral correction it is course correction. This is not punishment; it is removing you from the punishing pace of your life for a time. A chance to be your natural self. A chance to revel in the glow of your submission and thus recharge your batteries for another go at life.
In these times there is only you, and there is only me, and the connection we share. It is a tender caress or a harsh spanking, more often both, over and over, in many a measured way. But communicated through the softest touch or most strenuous lash is our connection, our bond, our equal and opposite forces of attraction as Dominant and submissive. And in these manifestations of who we most deeply are to one another there is love, and peace, and serenity, and purpose; a connection with the fire that burns in our core. And we become our selves and we become one. Once again united in our most natural state. Centered. Grounded. Dominant. Submissive.
So today I reel you in, and bring you back to your most authentic you.
