I was really trying to figure out if I created my own peace, or if I had to seek it out. I came to the conclusion that I am right smack in the middle - sometimes I can create my own, and sometimes I'm hollaring for it like a panicked mom with a lost child. *toes the ground* Can I have an email?

I DO think a high proportion of submissive women (certainly the one's I've met/spoken to/ written about have that over-analysing gene. I'd never given much thought to whether a large proportion of Doms have the 'simplify and be at peace' gene. Maybe that's it. I did also wonder briefly this morning if Antonio's military background might have had some influence. I'm sure it does with M. I'd be fascinated to know what he thought. love and hugs xxx Oh goodness, I think you’re onto something there in your response to Amber.

I don't know how he does it, honestly. And I do wonder if a higher percentage of submissive women (or people) have the same internal worrying syndrome, coupled with the ability to seek peace from a person who doesn't do the worrying thing so much. In my head, yes, yes they do. <em>(She says as if that settles the matter...)</em> I’m pretty sure Antonio could classify the apocalypse as ‘small stuff’ if he put his mind to it.

I think some people equate the power of a person to master him or herself with, as you said, that superficial power that makes someone rise in societal or financial rankings. That just doesn't equal success and mastery to me, that equals being a slave to the opinions of others, a slave to unimportant goals. But that smooth and fluid self-reliance, self-confidence and... About a million other words I can't seem to articulate... That is true mastery. Sure, it's great to bring home the bacon, but if that's THE goal? If that's the ultimate measure of a master? FAIL. And about that email... You know how sometimes people say 'Ask and ye shall receive'? Well, I'm going to send you an email. And it's not going to be like that at all. It's going to be more in the vein of 'Be careful what you wish for.' Bwahahahahaha.

I find it so striking how Antonio (and most Doms it seems) can sort of personally embody the serenity prayer, without a need for God or praying. They just... DO IT. I'm so the opposite. <strong>*shakes head sadly*</strong> You’re welcome!

Because I'm so friggin' HUMBLE-n-stuff! I'M HUMBLE AS SHIT! Hehe... Anyway, Chloe, I over analyze everything to pieces too. I'm worried about the taxes even though Dan did them. And with ease, I might add. He tries to help me with my worrying but he also doesn't sweat the small stuff and most of it is small stuff to Dan. I wonder if it's a D/s thing; I wonder if most subs worry and most Doms don't. Makes sense to me! No no! *I’m* the lovely blogging friend she was writing, ME ME ME!

I’M HUMBLE AS SHIT!

Hehe…

I didn't get an email from you. :P I wonder if this isn't a requirement for domming successfully. There is all of this talk, thrown around like rice at a wedding, about how one has to master themselves before they can master another. I suspect that the sentiment is often used, or taken, incorrectly. That people take it to mean one has to have a successful career, own a house, have 2 cars and have raised a dog for a year, yadda yadda yadda- when, in my opinion, it means things like this... an acceptance, an ease, a.. a.. well I don't know what. Peace within I guess. Now get cracking on that email. (hee) Funny. I didn’t get an email from you.

:P
