    thought provoking *sigh*

    You really capture in these few words just how in-grained life can be at times. "Don't rock the boat..." "don't think about it just do it..." attitudes that we take sometimes. I LOVE this personification!!!

    Very interesting. So much power in three little lines. To know the art and gift of submission is to really live.

      My ethos is that the relationship between Mistress and slave is like that between a Japanese "daimyo" and a retainer, or faithful samurai; hence the emblem at the top of this piece - the "mon" of the Tokugawa Shoguns. I have tried to portray this relationship as being something very natural, as in the movement of a flag in the wind. I am glad you found this interesting.
