Being, not becoming, and it sparked a moment of introspection.

i never considered myself a spiritual person. i spent my life denying that there is a basis for a spiritual element in my life. In anyone’s life. i always felt i was a complete person, not wanting another person or a greater being to feel whole. But in retrospect, i can see that i always felt a need for something greater. A need i could scarcely acknowledge.

And then i met Her. She is the perfect complement to every facet of who i am, who i want to become. By demanding and accepting my surrender to Her, She completes me, and i Her. Although W/we exist 3,000 miles apart, O/our connection is so strong W/we marvel at the seeming impossibility of it all while accepting it all for the gift that it is. It is magic.

And it is real. The thoughts shared at the exact same moment, the feelings mirrored across the expanse of a continent, the needs and desires that tortured U/us as individuals but that bond U/us as Mistress and servant, are real. This connection W/we share is a connection of spirits. Drawn together by electrons that shimmer in the ether, held together by spiritual magnetism, W/we are uncertain of O/our destination but W/we cannot doubt O/our destiny.

People seek spiritual fulfillment from many sources, using a host of methods to conduct their search. i am not saying anyone source or method is right or wrong for any one person. But i know now, personally, that spiritual fulfillment is possible through surrender. i cannot tell another to whom one should surrender, or from whom one should accept surrender. But i feel certain that without surrender in the mix, there can be no fulfillment.



i never give orders to Mistress 5 months ago

or even strong suggestions. It has never been my place to do so.

Until now.

Rest. Heal. Know i love You.

This is not a suggestion. This is an order i implore You.



This is the hardest thing i've ever done 13 months ago

Ever.

The most worthwhile, too.

Mistress instructs me 19 months ago

I want you to write an entry under the goal “Surrender” stating what that goal means to you, or what that surrender might look or feel like for you. Be detailed and honest. Tell our little world what it means to surrender to Me.

What is surrender? It differs from submission. Yes, i also submit to Mistress, but one may submit one’s body while one’s heart resists. Surrender freely given means i acknowledge my duty to submit and Her right to expect it. Surrender means i give myself to Her without condition, without limitation, and without expectation of reciprocation. Surrender at once implies and confirms Her superiority, and my acceptance; Her power and my abdication; Her status as Owner, and my status as Hers.

I surrender to Mistress. Not my Mistress, for i am owned, not she. I give to Her all that i am and will be. To the extent i can, i do so freely, but in truth i have no choice.

I surrender to Mistress because love compels me.
