Profound Restlessness

I'm thinking profound thoughts, feeling profound emotions, and feeling restless; all at the same time.

Having Master working overnight is really difficult for both of us. He hates it, and I don't like being alone in bed at night.

I'm reading a new book it's called Geisha: A Life... it's the biography of Mineko Iwasaki, a retired geisha. It has been fascinating and has filled my head with images of myself being so graceful, so refined, and then I wonder how long I'd be able to maintain it. The answer? Not long.

So, instead of becoming discouraged I think of ways I can add some of the principles of the geisha into my service. Serving with passion and perfecting the art of my service... these are things I can do.
