When i saw Sir X Saturday night, He raised a very good point. One that i had not even thought of.
Earlier that day, when we’d met for “lunch,” He’d given me very explicit directions about where to meet. To be exact, He’d texted:
“I’ll meet you, my car, park yours, f street, northbound, one block before Broadway, walk north to the first statue, I’ll pick you up there.”
That’s pretty clear, right?
Especially if you know, as i do, that f street is one-way going north.
Does it say anything about driving around the block a couple of times trying to make sure I was in the right place with the right statue?
Um, no. It really doesn’t.
As He pointed out, if i’d just done what He said to do, i would have found the statue just fine.
So, He asked, did i not trust His directions, or did i not trust my own ability to follow them?
Good question, right?
Ok, it was probably a little bit of both. i don’t have a sense of direction, can almost get lost in my own backyard, and He knows that. In fact, He kind of likes that, He says it gives me a vulnerability that’s appealing…
And of course He’s right ~ if i’d just done exactly what He said, i’d have been in the right place. And if i hadn’t been, He would have found me.
It’s a little bit of a wake up call for me ~ a reminder that i’m not as obedient as i’d like to think or as submissive as i want to be.
Because ~
~~ here’s the thing ~~
i needed to feel in control.
And knowing Him, He purposely picked the kind of task that would challenge me. Yeah, He’s that smart and insightful.
Have i mentioned that i’m wild about Him?
This is the first time that i can think of that i clearly didn’t meet the challenge of what He wanted me to do. He wasn’t upset or angry, but He’s been clear that it wasn’t what i was supposed to do.
And that’s made me think hard about it, and how to correct it. i’ll be more aware of that tendency in myself, and do better with it next time.
On a whole different note, i went to the BDSM discussion group yesterday. It was fascinating. Here are some of the questions we discussed:
There were lots more questions, many of which we didn’t even get to, but it was a terrific discussion. And now i’m curious.
What do youall think?
How would you answer those questions?
Comment or email me your thoughts – aisha.hisservant@gmail.com – and if it i get a good response, i’ll do a post or two about the discussion…
i should have some time to play with it later this week ~ i’m going out-of-town Wednesday, first to a work training, which should be really interesting and fun, and then to Kinky Kollege in Chicago. i’m thinking being out-of-town will relieve me of all kinds of other responsibilities.
Before that though, Sir X and i are getting together Tuesday night. {Grinning…} i can’t wait.
