Someone asked for my art?

This an Orthodox Christian bondage Taoist symbol. That is me, and I am
in a storm in my root chakra. That was drawn on 4/25/05

The drawings not bad. I like the honesty in it. But why are you in
bondage? And how old are you btw?

Those are sketches. I am in bondage because I am a rope bottom. I am 31.
How old are you? Why are you not in bondage?

Well if you want to come over to my place, I'll tie you down to my bed
and feed you oatmeal two times a day. The code word is "I like it
master!". That's how I know you want me to stop.

Wait.. No. I don't see what anyone gets out of bondage?? Tell me,
what's the appeal?

I have not been tied down yet, but the appeal is the restraint. I am a
very passionate person, with very intense emotions and a very sensitive
nature. I am feeling a lot of anger due to my divorce. And a lot of
grief. If I were tied down I would be able to express my emotions. It
also is beautiful to behold in photography. That is all I know of it, my
imagination and what I have read and seen, and my desires.

Maybe you should hire a profesional, who can do the job. You live in
California, so I'm sure people out there work at it for a living. But
I can't see a healthy relationship growing out of bondage. That's my
advice if you want to take it. All I know about bondage is it is
something I want to stay as far away from as possible. I've worked as
a professional with people who were confined to beds, or wheel chairs.

My father had me when he was in his 60's, and suffered from cronic
illnesses during most of my years as a teen ager. They had to
basically keep him tied to a bed, and he finally died after falling out
his bed, breaking a hip, and getting sick with the flue while in the
hospital. Life is a dangerous thing, and I see visions of bondage that
scare the shit out of me. And I can't do anything to prevent them from
happening. All across the world.

It's true that spiritually some religions engage in things that may
*seem* like bondage, but it isn't the same. Just don't hurt yourself.
People don't do it for pleasure.

Thanks for sharing, they say in NA. That's what caring really means.

A professional? I think I already have one. Do you resent your father
for having you when he was in 60s? Men can have in children in their 70s
and 80s as well. What do you think about that? I am religious and
spiritual and also in a couple of anonymous programs myself. I would
never bind myself. I would only let my disciplinarian do that.
I am sorry for your father's suffering and death and the suffering that
caused you. Thank you for being open and honest.
I am glad we care about each other, you and I. That is a great thing!

I might resent my father, but I am more greatful for everything he has
given me. Mostly I miss him, and all the wonderful memories that I
have of him before he died. He is one of my role models, and heroes.
He lived an extra ordinary life, that I will always admire. Having me
among 4 other children, wasn't a mistake. It's a gift both of my
parents gave to me.
