ORIGINAL: Level A beautiful answer, kyra. And it leads to further thought, for me.... it seems some crave or need to feel controlled... should the goal be to surpass that, into a more natural state of obedience? Of course, different strokes for different folks, but I'd like to hear from everyone on this too.... Level For me the goal is just being myself. My choice of relationships allows me the freedom to be who I am. The result is that the expected behaviors resonate with my inner-self and they become very natural and free flowing. One expectation is that I am to walk on my Lord’s right when he and I are alone. When the three of us are together, he will instruct us as to who will be on the right and the other is on the left. I find now that I naturally walk on everyone’s right and I feel uncomfortable on someone’s left and most uncomfortable on his left. This is his control of me spilling over into other areas. I guess the control is felt most now when I am required to behave in the opposite manner of the normal expectation. That is an interesting twist, I didn’t think of it like that before now. Thanks for the question, Level; I learned something new about myself and that is always a very good thing. Knight's kyra
