Silent lucidity....

I often receive comments about the images i post with my blog.

I spend almost as much time searching for images as i do in writing the substance of the blog.

I look for images that evoke the feelings that either i am feeling at the time i am writing, or the message i am hoping to pass along.

Usually it is as i am feeling at that moment.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just carry around a photo book, and show a picture "this is how i feel right now"?

But showing who we are and what we feel at any particular time, is never that easy.

And the transparency necessary in a D/s relationship is most certainly the most difficult of all.

Shifting from joy to concern, whether it be in the facial expressions or the body language, or maybe in the voice, is certainly worthy of investigation.

And try as we may there are always "tells" that cannot be hidden.

A sudden silence speaks loudly.

It can be agonizing attempting to determine the cause.

The possibility of "over thinking" that silence is almost assured.

Sometimes we just need to step back, to re group, and the best way to accomplish that is through silence.

With time and a touch of patience, the silence becomes clear, the issues brought to the surface, and the solution....

Transparent....
