is submitting to pain, deep pain even. P a i n and no mistake about it. The point, like the extreme spanking, the point is to experience pain. For me Noah, the point is not just to experience the pain, but to experience the moment before the pain occurs, the moment that can stretch inside me way past its external reality. If the pain comes too fast without my knowing I am waiting, if I do not find that deep stillness where all my focus and breath is living in the recognition of knowledge of what is about to happen, then the pain will have little meaning for me. I can endure extreme pain but without that stillness, I am distant, detached, its a purely physical process - not to say that can't be fun, but for me its not what works. The power of what happens to me is in that the journey isn't linear, the connection with the space of the certainty of what is about to happen to the same stillness I find after the extreme pain is endured. When I give thanks, its not just for the pain given to me, its for the waiting, the stillness and the glory of the return to it.
