I have to agree with Suleiman in that sense. If it was put in the structure of daily affirmations to my service (I am a switch, though not often) and if I was actually collared to a Mistress, then of course, this would be easier. But my "prayers" are reserved for Odhinn, Thor, Freya, Baldur and Loki... Among others... Even for Yaweh, though I'm not Jewish, nor Christian, though I was raised Baptist protestant. Now of course, this might all seem as a bit of a contradiction to some, but for me, not really. I consider my spirituality to be something more in tune with universal truths, rather than due or owing homage to a "being" in the strictest sense of the word. Prayers are meant to come from the soul and the heart. Affirmations, especially in service to another, should come from the same place. Ritualizing your service to him is something that I believe to be essential. But I would personally hesitate to mix it with religion, unless he is becoming yours. So far as how you say something in regards to that, if it, for YOU sums up your submission, and to HIM comes across as accurate to what he sees in you, then by all means. But I would be remiss in telling you that it's a good idea to "get ideas" from others. However, I will say, I believe you are on the right track. For me, most prayer comes from the heart, in the spur of the moment. The ritual would be in my physical and mental demeanor as I performed the ritual. Not in the words actually spoken. Every moment is as chaotically different from the next, as Dominance and submission is just as diametrically opposed. The prayer in and of itself should really reflect this. The exercise being that you don't recite from wrote, but you instead raise to the surface from your depths in the moment, at the moment. This is how I'd see such a ritualization, and I hope it makes sense. It makes sense to me... LOL...[:D] But much of what you're doing is the same reason I have specific rituals for greeting, meeting and so forth that my slaves must adhere to. Protocols serve as much a purpose for this as what your Master is expecting of you. I applaud your devotion as well. It truly is something that lights my heart when I see it in others, aside from my own. Dedicated servitude... Isn't it awesome?![8D] Okay, I've rambled on enough here... Peace girl, and the best of life to you and your Master. Tora
