Dark Days

Prologue: The Dark Knight is not one of evil and is such because his cause is not that of good or evil but is one of balance in that not all things are so divided into good and evil, black and white, or right and wrong.  The other point of note is everything from the knight to his fortress is all a metaphor.  In truth the torch is a lost love that still resides with him.

The Dark Days

We join the dark knight as he stands on the tower of his fortress looking out over the darkness.  As he watches the moonlight kisses his battle worn armor and all is quiet.  As the boredom of a dead night washes over him he remembers it wasn’t long ago that he had one that was his light.  The torch of her love kept his eyes keen and his heart pure.  Those days are over although he never knew what put the torch out, he still wonders if it still burns and has been veiled to him for he has seen it spark and flare time to time just enough to give him hope.  With the evils that has washed over his land that he has only been able to fight to a draw, he has been left to wonder if maybe all that he has known has been corrupted by the plague of his land.  He fights long and hard yet the plague remains, for a while he has held up in his fortress to rest and heal before the next battle, but with the quiet nights comes the doubt that he has nothing left to fight for.  His torch has gone out, his squire has abandoned him and those who seek refuge in his fortress are those whom are too injured or too weary to travel on.

His life has been devoted to offering shelter and protection for any that would seek it, his heart and land had been a bountiful land that produced more than was needed most of the time. In time of hardship and despair his fortress had been a point of hope.  Now the dark knight is alone and scavenging to provide for those who cannot leave.  His evil ravaged fortress trembles in effort, trying to remain intact and not fall to rubble.  His persistence is all that give the mighty walls the strength not to fall, and keeps the vile beasts at a distance, although f the beast caught the scent of his doubt they would be upon the fortress walls and all would be lost.

Which s more important Mind/body or spirit

All three are important is neglecting one’s self.  The body is a vessel that carries you through your life.  Neglect or abuse of it will catch up and make one suffer for it.  The mind is very important to a person as it not only carries the intellect but is also the link between body and spirit.  The spirit is important as it carries one from this life to the next. 

To choose to prioritize them is a mistake as they are all three important and there needs to be balanced that only come through equal attention to each.

A Summer Day

Describe the perfect summer day. What would you do on that day?

The perfect summer day would be where I have a day free, sunny, around 90 degrees and a full tank of gas.  Ideally I would have ammunition for my rifles and a full tank of gas.  I would go out to the local shooting range in the morning shoot off a couple of hundred rounds, then I would continue up the road to Sheridan lake and have a picnic lunch and enjoy the rest of the day at the lake. 

If I had more than one day I would go camping as well.  I love nature and being outdoors. 

Club

If I were to start a club it would be a fetish club.  I am into BDSM and there are few that are in that particular lifestyle around here. SD isn’t known for its open minds and without any type of fetish/ BDSM club there it is very difficult to connect with people that are interested or in the lifestyle. 

One might advise to go online; well it is hard if not impossible to have a dom/sub relationship long distance not to mention that over 70% of the people you find online are either frauds or players.  There are real people online but the likely hood of finding people in your area and real is a one in a million.

Our area doesn’t have any D/s’s clubs or groups, thus I would be likely to start one if I was inclined to start and organize a club.  As far as what I would name it I would probably call it something like Heart Links.  Its purpose would be to provide a way for people in the lifestyle and people curious about the lifestyle to get together and discuss it meet the people in the area who are interested.  Who knows it could be a place for perspectives to meet each other.

Beliefs about sex

Recently I have been given reason to question my beliefs on sex.  The basics is simple, sex is a way of interacting with fellow humans that happen to fall within the close circle of friends.  However how close does it really need to be?  What is the true necessity of sex?

The necessity of sex in my opinion is simple the need to be close to another human being.  It in no way is linked to love directly.  Sure, if you are committed to a romantic relationship, you should be able to connect with them on a sexual basis, but there is also possibility of a sexual attraction between two people and there be no basis of any other type of relationship.  This connection does not make the best combination for a family structure.

Sexual connections are not equal to love, if more people would realize this the divorce rate would drop, this would be comparable to best friends don’t make for good couplings.  Both can work in some circumstances, but usually there is more to it than just the one connection.

That part is pretty simple and straight forward.  The complicated part comes when the questions; who can you have sex with and what is cheating?

To me cheating is a term that needs to be determined by both parties in a committed relationship.  For me and my wife it is simply having another and deceiving or hiding the relationship from the other.  If we are honest and open with each other about the affair it’s not cheating.  This is the part that gets touchy; who can one have sex with?

The Answer in my opinion is anyone that one chooses.  I do mean anyone, the exceptions are short, be responsible and the person should be of a knowledgeable age past puberty.  To me this correlates to about 15   years old, however due to the law I do stay within legal age of consent, this is reality, but by belief it would ideally be 15 responsibility falls to insure that no offspring be produced until wanted and at reasonable time.

By my belief anyone over 14 years are capable of engaging in sex.  This should be done by two consensual people whom are responsible enough to ensure no children are produced until they are ready for children, nor should it hamper the life experiences and growth of the people involved.  Cheating is only possible by being dishonest towards yourself and your significant other, and sexual attraction does not equal love and in some cases can be totally separate from each other and sexual attraction is controlled more by lust not love.
