These are the voyages of the Rant blog "Silence". Its five year mission, to explore strange new words - to seek out new wit and new cynicisms. To trenchantly go where no man - no one, has gone before...
The best way I’ve heard submission described was at M/s conference in 08. Submission is not following your Master. It is preceding him, clearing the path, and reporting back to him on any pitfalls or problems you see ahead. It is trusting him, to guide and navigate, to keep you safe. The most common way I’ve heard Dominance described uses words that I wouldn’t use to describe a dog.
