Newbie intro & Opinions wanted
i thought i would introduce myself.
i am a newbie all around - new to the boards as you can see by my membership date, new to being a sub/slave, new to relationships. i have kept myself apart for many many years - 50th birthday in a couple of months. i have had D/s fantasies since i was a child. i have been reading BDSM ever since i stumbled upon Anne Rice's Beauty series half a life time ago. i have spent considerable time working on issues i have in my life. i live in a very rural area at least 150 miles from a large city that might have munches etc. or other safe ways to explore my interest. i finally joined this board to explore my interest a little more actively than just reading stories voraciously.
i made a post with a BDSM story idea the day i joined the boards April 2nd - perhaps an April Fool. i was swept away by the positive response and interest i received.
Barely two weeks and i have fallen in love and aquired an on-line Master. my head is spinning and i am euphoric. i am old enough to know that eventually i will come down to earth and all this has been very rash and fast. We are aware that only the test of time will prove the depth of this relationship.
In the mean time this old song came into my head. i shared it with my master and he agreed that it seems to very effectively describe my relationship to him. i thought i'd share it here and get other people's opinions.
And no i am not a Shaker, i am not even a Christian. i am a pagan.
Simple Gifts
trad. Shaker song.
'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free
"Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in a place just right
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed
To turn, turn will be our delight
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.
