Feed Me
I surrender to another because I want to be taken to that place where reason and thought disappears, where the world folds up flat and spins away into its own corner and there's nothing left but what I'm feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
Feed Your Body
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Feed Your Heart
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is great love, there are always great miracles.
~Mother Teresa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.
~Henry James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feed Your Mind
The quieter you become the more you can hear.
~Baba Ram Dass~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Henry David Thoreau~ -
Feed Your Soul
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity..
~Pema Chodron~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy has no cost.
~Marianne Williamson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
~Robert Louis Stevenson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Desire & Intent
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Friendship
In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Love
‘A’Ole E ‘Olelo mai Ana Ke Ahi Ua Ana Ia.
Translation: The fire of Love will burn as long as it has something to feed on.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.
~John O'Donohue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He told me 6 weeks ago to “My life is better off without you in it. Leave me alone.” this was after I told him he was an Ass and rude to me in my house. OK, So be it…..I … Continue reading
chaos
I am sorry you are caught in the middle defending the Sanctuary of the house and your position as his slave to him, yourself, me and everyone else. I’ve stated how I see things, what I can comfortably do with … Continue reading
the Oracle-part two
The King became increasingly preoccupied with laying in bed only to be attended by many nameless, faceless serving wenches from far and near who tripped over themselves serving steaming bowls of toenail soup, and fought among themselves for the honor … Continue reading
Eight virtues
Self Control – It is a non-negotiable in my eyes. If you cannot control your own behavior whether you are owned or not, you need to learn how. No one is going to save you. It’s your own responsibility. Respect … Continue reading

The first and most important: this home is a sanctuary for all who live here. It is safe haven. A retreat for her and I and the children. It cannot be any other way. All else comes after this one… … Continue reading
starving
crumbs tossed on the wind as bits and sound bytes in the all too fleeting nanoseconds of time hungry for a full meal cool water for parched lips tired of waiting they leave searching to be fed
clearing the land
stripping the soil of weeds around seedlings struggling for light and water. planting new seeds in the hope of future blooms.
personal resonsibility
There is a lot to be said about personal responsibility both in and out of the lifestyle. There is much to be said about owning our own behavior. It’s said too, the submissive (or slave or bottom) always has the … Continue reading
once a fear
It’s funny where life takes us; the lessons it has in store for us.The very woman I feared, scorned, and resented is my roommate, mentor, trusted friend and sister. The woman I was so scared to serve and submit to; … Continue reading
dead man talking
It isn’t position or place I seek in all of this. First or Second isn’t a goal. Neither is bigger, faster, stronger. I am big, fast and strong in my own right. Doing better? Sure. Growing. Of course. Competition with … Continue reading
I want….
a barbarian at the gate; to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.
cycles
After three months I now find I am cycling with other women in the house. Mother and daughter’s cycles are pretty close, and now I seem to be following my housemate’s. While I will never start my menses again at … Continue reading
Not…..
It is not what it appears. I understand being fallible and have empathy for the human condition as I am not always consistent with words or actions myself. At times, the dragons I thought I conquered are still dragons hiding … Continue reading
