Is Submission a gift

[fellintobed]

When I submit it is a direct acknowledgement of my Self, my master's Self, our mutual desire to have me obey his bidding, my ability and knowledge of how to act in a way that pleases him. More than that, it is not a one-time thing. Submission is a process, a time line. When I submit I am creating the opportunity to follow a trail of crumbs to somewhere I may never have been, a trail created by my master that I willingly follow. That trail is his gift to me. That I follow it is my gift to him. Submission could not exist without domination. They are both gifts.

Submission is a gift and there is indeed a process to achieve that gift.

It is a gift that is consciously surrendered by the submissive, who has realized her deep inner true self, when mentored/nurtured by a skillful Master.

The fact that on is a Dominant and the other is a submissive does not necessarily equate to taking something for granted.
