[QUOTE=gagged_Louise;591158]Tessa once said as we were discussing this that a core point of submission was the wish to be cherished in your lowest, most primitive form, one could also read that as your most rough and "sinful" form (and thereby being forgiven and accepted deep in your most naked being). With her intuition I think she uncovered a central truth there: needing to be taken and made to give from your most hidden, most primitive layers is part of submission, and that may come out in strange forms.[QUOTE]



So, I just felt it might help to add that our most sinful, primitive and crude form is...dare I say it? It is our own inner child, is it not? Don't take this the wrong way. I mean the inner self that we as adults have within us. It wants to be seen. It wants to bear witness. But he/she is hiding. Yes. I think it is very insightful. Maybe that's why we write, some of us, some of the time: to have sightings of this strange being from the past. To somehow wave and acknowledge and make peace with her. Or him.
