After she heard the door close, she didn't know what to do. She was still blindfolded and she had no idea what was around her. She was almost positive that one of the men was still in the room with her, but didn't know how close he was or if he was watching her. She … Continue reading Moments {3}

It was her lover who helped her to her feet. He allowed her to stretch her arms, wiggling her shoulders, and then raised her hands, placing them behind her head, right at the nape of her neck. She was still blindfolded. "I'm going to claim you," he said. "I'll ask you to submit to my … Continue reading Moments {2}

Pondering Trauma
Listening to a presentation by Bessel van der Kolk about healing from trauma. He talks about how many of us are numb, not living fully embodied.
