Dear Calandra, Ladies and Gentlemen;
In my mind's eyes I see, each slave is different and using the written word is different in their mind's eyes. Some see journaling as a punishment or chore, especially when they have attention disorders or the dreaded Dyslexia. Instead of having that slave write--I have them record it on tape. Now days, with the digital cameras and tapes, a slave can record, burn to disk and surrender it to me for review. Some individuals can write well and express themselves well through the written word.
It is also in my mind's eyes I see, the journal is an opportunity to express themselves, without having their words, spelling and or grammar being tested or under focus but, rather what their heart, their spirit and their slave guts are expressing. I personally do not mind a rambling and jumbled mind, as that is how often thoughts are processed in our minds naturally. The burden lifted, they are talking to themselves as much as they talk to me. Emotions flood forward, no different from a round table discussion can be with so many dimentions any one individual may have. Life has many facades or faces and those faces have even more facades, much like a cut crystal or a diamond has many cuts to cause it's brightness, clarity and or beauty.
If I do have an assignment to where the slave is to write their findings and summary of the particular area; I have them read it as well. From their delivery, I can tell if it was just copy down and or really getting the knowledge, as to be first hand and own that information.
I do have great interest in service. There has been many who teach service for the present. I teach service from historical roots, giving tradition and ceremonial roots to what is done. When I teach this -- the understanding, the light bulb moment of how it all makes sense comes to rest and the appreciation is manifested. I have an equal wish that more was addressed as to accepting service. It is very important for a Dominant to be just as engaged with watching, appreciating and complimenting the slave serving. The hurt in slave's eyes when they are not watched and their form not noticed pains me deeply.
In my mind's eyes I see, there is much more than the mechanics of serving and or service. It is the magic that can be raised from within their soul, when they can gather in the many aspects of serving, to give service, to accept service and be empowered from what is past, what is present and what is future. It is beyond public consumption but, a slave's mastery of the arts of service and inspire all to partake in the experienced and be forever 'touched.' When the 'spirit' of service is manifested, a part of them imprints on the entire experience as they serve. This is where a slave inspires those they touch--even their Master.
Just some thoughts.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
