"THE KEY"
the truth of the heart is what will keep you alive
the lying of the minds is what will make you dead
searching your soul will hurt
open your wounds and bleed alittle
let the pain takeover
the storm will fade and you will be strong
if pain is all you know
pain is your happiness and your sorrow
something to be scorned and to be cherished
Why? do i need to live in drama to be happiness
why? is this the only way to live for me
the things i have done cannot be erased
but to one day forgive myself is needed
pain is a companion that is constant
loyal, it will never leave you
pain cannot be cured but only tamed
to learn this is the answer to living fully
pain is life and pain will make you alive
spark your senses to life and put your
emotions to work
the way to happiness is to learn to live
through and with your pain
so when it fades you are left unharmed
and stronger, this is the answer to life
Pain is a friend to be kept and relished
this is the key

So here it is the thing i have learned have brought me to this conclusion. Things that impact your life can either make you happy or sad. Usually the things that are painful are the most important events in your life. The pain you experience makes you the person you are. So if you learn to grow and be happy even in the midst of discomfort and emotional upheaval, you will thrive. If you understand that pain is a part of life, pain is necessary and never ending. If you understand that pain can never be erased or displaced you will learn to truly live cause you will no longer let the event of pain ruin or rule over your happiness. Accepting that Pain will happen no matter where you are in your life is the key to letting it happen and living through it. Most of the time we get hurt the most is when we fight against things that hurt. Like going in to the past to fix a past wound or going into the future and fixing something that will bring us pain. Seek happiness through accepting your pain......This is the Key.

Buddhists call this "the end of suffering". Metaphysicists call it "the Art of Allowing".

I have been trying to figure myself out in the lifestyle. I have so many questions but no one to really talk to about them. I have always fealt that Pain was a ruling factor in my life. I am done with the emotional pain but the physical i have learned i cant live without. The Dom i have been talking to for almost a year is a good man and i care about him but he has allot of questions about who he is to. I want him so bad but he needs to figure out himself too and i have told him this. How can i deal with this? He is everything i have ever wanted and needed but he is just like me trying to understand who i am in all this. We are so passionate in our paly and i believe i know who he is to me and i respect him but after there are questions?

You and he need to check out two events. One is a national large event called Southwest Leather Conference. The website will tell you about last year's conference (simply remove all the extra stuff to keep an eye on this year's site. Pay attention to the Dance of Souls at the end of the weekend. The other is a small, intimate event called Butchmanns. The site for Butchmanns is down right now, but it's a weekend based on four pillars: cathartic flogging, ritual peircing, mummification and service.

There are many of us who find that pain as well as Master/slave relationships are spiritual paths.

this is a beautiful written and thought out poem and was appreciated, but this thread of romantic thoughts of pain and is misleading in many senses of what the Way truly is.....
i have been involved in this Lifestyle since youth, being raised within a poly family, educated within another and now serving my second Master in His House.
The key elements of this Path is TRUTH, much more beyond the pain. It is about a relationship that can go much deeper with TRUST. FAITH of each other.....
look deeper.....see the whole picture....
