This is strictly from My point of view... and no one else's has to "fit" into what I think submission means and is....

---to submit completely and utterly to another, to surrender all or some "power" requires an exceptional inner strength in the woman ... she is strong.. make no mistake about that.. this submissive woman that comes to you is no weakling or doormat.

---submission is something that comes from deep within a person and is an essential part of their nature; just like the color of their eyes or the sound of their voice. It just "is" a part of their makeup. It is innate...it can't always be explained... why does someone like vanilla ice cream .. because they do... it just "is" .

---submission is the giving of oneself willingly because it makes them happy to do and to serve another. The act of someone going beyond what they desire for another is something expressed from the soul and it goes much deeper than the mere physical/sexual act of offering ones-self to another for pleasure...it can be the simple act of making another comfortable or making another's life easier.

---submission is powerful -- it encompasses the mind and soul... the energy drawn and the energy given is expressed through actions/desires/wants and it is returned...it is powerful and one can find the deepest levels of trust and intimacy happens between a Dominant and submissive during these times.

---the submissive is not weak or foolish...oh, no... do not take her submission for either. She is brave and strong and a force to be reckoned with... she has a voice and she has a say... she is not a voiceless robot who does the bidding of another simply because she has no choice.. she has a choice and she has chosen. It does not complete her for she is a complete woman on her own and in her own right... her submission echoes the dominance she finds in her One....

---she has the self esteem and knowledge to relinquish power to another and she has an understanding that her One must possess those same qualities...to respect and admire her for doing so and treat her submission with the utmost of care....for it is a gift. A precious gift of herself and her trust. One that should be cherished and treated as such.
