2/5/2012 - Photo
There’s something about this photo that pulls me to it… I’ve always been drawn to the ones that show devotion expressed like this, but there’s something about this one that bothers me, she’s not open enough for me, not loose eough, not supplicanty enough…. and yet I wonder if it’s because she’s leaving her arse in the air for a purpose…. if she’s been told to keep it up, or if that’s how her master likes it… to me though, it cries that she’s not giving 100% of herself to the devotion, her posture just isn’t screaming “I AM HERE, I AM DEVOTED, I WORSHIP YOU”… it gives me more of a “I’m here, use me as you will” feeling… which of course is still fine and well… but when I’m brought low like this, when I’m bowed forward and so filled with emotion I can’t speak, but need to express… I’m going for the first one.
the greatest courage
this is my strength, i surrender
this is my power, i submit
i am yours
i am whole
