I have an on-going effort to be more "productive". I put those words in quotes because I tend to think that can mean a lot of different things to us. Usually for me it means filling some arbitrary quota of work or product. I get frustrated and stressed out, for example, because I haven't written to this blog for a while. Besides that, there are plenty of people that I owe correspondence to and there's that self-improvement book that I should be contributing to...
Truth is that most of the time I'm either not inspired or too tired to actually produce. I really have to take notice of that, particularly when it involves two of my favorite topics - philosophy and spanking. When I'm too tired to write about philosophy and spanking, that says a lot. So I have to examine the fundamental assumptions. One assumption I've made is that there has to be a certain level of production. Why have I made that assumption? Where does it come from?
Clearly I've been influenced by those blogs that I've read that are contributed to every day. Then again there's the average day that I have in my mind that ends with me sitting in front of the TV, relaxing and using that time to bang out a few words on the laptop. Truth is, there are very few days like that and often when I do have time to just sit in front of the TV, that's really all I want to do.
I have to believe though, that I'm enough. If I'm to believe in the perfection of the Universe, then I must believe that what I contribute to the changes in mass and energy forms over time and within space are adequate and necessary. I could do no more, nor any less. And those who would be edified by my writing about spankings and philosophy get just what they need from me and from this blog. I can easily imagine me in another life, looking for writing on the Internet about spanking or philosophy and coming across this. I think it would make me very happy, particularly if it were coming from a woman (women writing about spanking or philosophy being extremely rare in my experience).
So there's really no cause for me to feel inadequate nor ashamed of my laziness. I am who I am.
I have to harken back to a time when I first began playing publicly in my local community. At the time (as there are still, of course) plenty of Doms who had more experience and knowledge and could and did hit harder. Yet it seemed that I was always in demand for giving a spanking. I have yet to fully understand that, but I have an inkling of the reason. My wife and a few others have told me that there's just something special about the way I spank. I just have the write touch that they've been looking for - a blend of sensuality and severity that they've found to be rare.
There could only be one me, just as there could only be one you. The Universe, being perfect wastes nothing. No spanking happens without meaning. No spank is wasted. Let's stand aside and let spanking happen.

Renewing Spirit
I recently gave a presentation/discussion to my local munch group that was quite rewarding to me personally. I find that I'm continually surprised at how at home I feel speaking to people both privately and in public about the deeper issues of life, spirituality, and communication. It does feel like something I was born to do.
I was blessed to speak to a couple of my friends afterward about the presentation, as they had been in the audience. I was grateful because two of my favorite subjects came up - spanking and spirituality of course.
These friends are two beautiful women inside and out. One said to me that she thought the presentation/discussion had inspired some people to explore more and think more in spiritual terms. (I'm paraphrasing here. She put it much more gracefully and succinctly.) I already have evidence that she was right. At least 3 people came to me afterward and told me that I had inspired thought and provided a point of view that they hadn't tried before. That's just unbelievably rewarding. I really want to open hearts and open up minds, because I believe God is everywhere and the narrower our minds are the more we squeeze God and her accompanying perfection out of our lives, to our detriment.
The second woman talked to me about several things. She mentioned in passing that she usually ended up laughing and calling for more during spankings, while her friend was more likely to shed tears. What beautiful concepts! First of all being among grown women who will openly discuss with me their spankings, and secondly just the idea of the variety of reactions a woman can have to being spanked. It really is a wide open Universe out there and truly anything is possible.
She also mentioned being what I call a receiver - one who is extra sensitive to energies, particularly emotional energies from other people. I'm definitely one of those. I can read people very readily, sometimes too readily, uncomfortably so. I think this is the key to my being a quiet person usually and sometimes shy. It's been a revelation to me how opaque most people find other people to be. That's why sometimes I haven't said much. I've felt like other people could easily read my motivation or emotion and I just didn't want to be that exposed. Little did I know how unlikely that was. Neither did I really have to tone down my personality to the extent that I have. I'm learning more and more to let myself come out!
One of the down sides to being a receiver is the accumulation of so much of others' emotions. You really need a way to release that and re-center. One of the better ways I've found to do that is give a good long spanking. I like to think that my spankee has had similar experiences. And, of course, I'd like to experiment with many spankees on that - you know, scientific method, repeatable results, etc. etc...
But really though, we spankers and spankees have a marvelous gift to give one another - a stress reliever, meditative spirit builder, a mind-blowingly erotic experience, a self-esteem builder and more. If this could be put into a pill, it would make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. Instead it is free and freely given from spankers to spankees and from spankees to spankers.
God is good!
