600 seconds at lunch - what triggers your anger?

I don't get angry that easily but I do get angry at dishonesty. I really do not accept that telling lies or deceiving people is ever a necessary or good thing. OK sometimes the truth is hard to face but surely it is better to face any issues sooner rather than later. If the truth is going make someone angry a lie and finding out that one has been lied to will only make that anger and any recriminations far worse. Relationships of any kind require trust, and lies even little ones break that trust down to nothing. Without trust no relationship can survive. Honesty is always a far better and stronger option. In the D/s lifestyle trust is something valuable between a Dominant and submissive, lying is not only a danger to a relationship its is also physically dangerous to hide behind deceptions you are capable or more experienced than you really are. I rely on my partner's honesty and integrity without that there can be nothing. The high level of trust in a D/s relationship does indeed make them very strong and codependent. That strength of trust is the key behind any power exchange that may occur.

Morning Pages - Native Eagle

The eagle is a powerful totem in Native American culture representing the freedom of spirit. I adore birds of prey especially eagles as they fly with such grace and elegance using the natural thermals of the atmosphere to sweep and glide with seemingly no effort. The accuracy of their vision when they spot their prey is a wonder to behold and then that dive of the hunter as they soar down silently grabbing the prey with their talons without breaking flight and swooping back up effortlessly. Is it any wonder the Native culture holds them in such high esteem. The freedom of spirit is something I hold close to me as nothing can take it away.
