This is my personal take and journey using the template of Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of Five Rings." He was a Japanese swordsman that traveled and learned and grew upon his life journey.
The Book of Five Rings
Life and Living
Life is full of ups and downs. Like the waves of the ocean crashing upon itself and the shore. Many things we can't control throughout the journey and things that we can.
My life has been filled with the obscure, unique, weird and more. I have died on the operating table a few times. Been able to use the combat flight simulator and feed my inner nerd.
When Ru and I talk about Life Unscripted. It truly is unbelievable when you look back at it.
Push the envelope and seize each moment, because it is your last rules supreme. The travel, adventure and created memories come in abundance mostly. Where I have tried things that I would never have seen or been.
Be and remain unto yourself. Meaning do the things that you want to do and try. Open up to the unknown and embrace it. You find different meanings, understandings and inspirations that way.
So I have made choices and like the Battle of the Bulge, kept right on rolling. No matter what.
Love and Happiness
I believe in, cherish and am Love. My heart beats love and passion in a very intimately, deep way. Which is always a contrast to my apathetic, asshole ways.
My love is the thing that knows what I want and need from you and that it is possible to have. The heart beat that still pounds even when you have every obstacle in the way and your fighting your feeling.
As many episodes that would and should and have made me not want to and question love. I have found strength and purpose in it. To give and gain that connection that genuinely energizes and increases your existence. It is a dwindling thing among humans now but it is still there hidden somewhere out there.
My happiness is made up of traveling, eating good food, enjoying time with those that care and love along with reciprocate those things. They want to spend time with me and have a great time. To enjoying movies and books. There are many things that make up my happiness. And there are a few things that trump everything else and keep me happy. Those involve another individual so that is definitely a needle in the hay stack or long shot timing type thing.
Relations
Relationships hold a strong meaning to me. They always have. My circles of trust and their hierarchy within. From friends, lovers to my wife and candidate for my wife. They all have been deeply rooted and considered. Even at the wife and candidate for wife status has been so deep when I get that YOU ARE THE ONE connected feeling that I deny it myself until I have to face reality.
But I believe in being there for each other. Through the good and the bad. The one that will be your sin eater, counselor and cheerleader. I believe a relationship has to be worked on, managed and actually cherished. Otherwise it is not a relationship. It is just something to do. And I realize that is popular these days in society with situationships and the need to remain disconnected. But there really is no need to be scared if you are honest and true about it.
Whatever type of connection it is. It is there for a very good reason or reasons. Immerse in it. Learn, grow and enjoy it to the fullest. I have been deeply blessed for some relationships. They have stood the test of time. And yes there are those that didn't. But you have to learn what is proper and best and that is not all sugar and sweets.
BDSM
My journey in bdsm and D/s specifically. It is a release and acceptance of self. The things that have always been there, lingering in the corners. Now brought out in the light. The things that I didn't realize I was doing or the reasons behind them until I embraced and learned more.
Here is where hierarchy, leadership, manangement and kinks come together to form such a powerful and needed entity.
From the impact, rope, breath, forced orgasms and more play it has only enlightened me further. And it is has provided a much needed release and purpose.
When I know that you understand that I am looking out for you as your Dominant it makes me feel good and makes me need to do the best in our dynamic. The times are difficult, but they hold a distinct meaning within me that I must do better and better. And make you better than when it all began. Provide structure, release, comfort and your ability to just be.
Learning and learning and learning. I have made mistakes and thankfully they have not been suncrusher style mistakes. But I accept my faults and will continue to grow. Looking at dynamic with intensity and desire to make it better and tailored to what my dynamic must be.
BDSM is simple life and existence to me. Part of the whole I am and always will be.
Balance
Ahh, one of the trickiest things of all for me.
It is tricky because the balance is not all centered or reliant upon just me. There are other people involved and that brings in other mentalities, time tables and thinking.
What provides me balance:
- Stability
- Love and caring from those that I am with
- Attention from those that I am with
- Regular sex (this saves the humans)
- Regular kink play (keeps me off of americas most wanted)
- Traveling
- Food and drink
- Time and adventures spent with those I am with
These things help keep the balance of the Force. My Force! Where I am not all ABM constantly or just don't give a fuck about humans completely.
Balance is the key to moving along freely and competently. It gives way to your ability to adapt and overcome things more easily. And when it is off things are that much more difficult.
In Summary
This is my style of the book. And I have read the book and will continue to re read the book. But these things fit me currently. And very well.
As K Ci had the album "My Book," this one is simply just me. Well parts of the whole. The rest you have to decide to come and talk to me! lol Yeah, come find out for yourself and I will show you the gateway to being me.
