And Life is Good
January 17, 2012
We talked briefly last night and agreed the obey resolution has worked well, both practically and symbolically, as both a way to see life’s mundane tasks are accomplished in better accordance to her standard and priority and also as an effective way for me to express, and she to see, my love for her.
I must say I love how she’s approaching this as simultaneously fun and serious –there have been as many laughs as tasks accomplished. I also love how she’s simultaneously cautious and effective –she doesn’t give me orders so much as expect me to obey/comply with her wishes, and she expects practical, tangible, bottom-line results.
It means she’s doing things her way and finding her own style of being more firmly in charge, it means she’s making sure she’s getting what she wants out of the added dynamic –making sure the symbols mean something that she wants and values, and that the symbols work in a way that works for her. And of course it also means I’m happy and motivated because I’m at one with her and her desire (harmony) and effectively feeding her fiery self.
I admit I haven’t been perfect with everything but it’s clear that what is getting done happens with more intentionality, more goodwill towards one another, and more intimacy.
In short: it’s working and life is good.
Better actually.
