A leap of faith

 If you read my blog regularly , you will know often things that i see when i go about my day to day life inspire me to write about comparrisons to the submissive world that i chose to live in and the event that i see. Well today was not exception, the weather has been clear , although a tad cold and the sky is not to cloudy, so it was no suprise to me to hear the small aircraft taking off from the airfield a short way from where we leave and doing its prep run to get ready for the parachutists that often jump from there.
Soon it was droning over head like a giant white bee , doing lazy circles till it reached its optimum height for the parachutists to jump.
Now my father who is in his late seventies did a jump last year, and i know how much courage these people who do these jumps have to have, i also realise the amount of prep that goes into the instructors that do the tandem jumps with people.......The preflight talk with the people , going through the correct position to leave the plane , how to be when the chute opens , to how to do the perfect landing . Then it is pack that chute up, and off they go again. ( and the art of packing that chute is no mean feat i am thinking.for it literally is the thing that saves you from plummeting to the ground like heavy rock thrown in the air .)Now my brain being the way it is watched those first solo parachutist glide to earth from our back garden, listened for the plane to start , its ascent and saw the the first batch of tandem jumpers start to swirl down.
I likened them to a Master and submissive on their first play , all saftey issues checked and ready to jump then taking a giant leap of faith as you leave your body and head for subspace.....the rush as you free fall, not quite there at subspace yet...... the fear that you will not relax enough to get there likened to the chute will not open, you will go to fast , the heart in the mouth experience as you start to tumble in your mind towards  the space that ultimately you and your One wishes you to get to..... Then the opening of the chute itself,  an order to keep in position as the harness or ropes help keep you in position and safe for the play you are getting, sometimes biting hard just as the chute does when it adjusts and opens.......
The floating spiral as you reach  subspace..........likened to the chute opened and the decent to earth........Master holding and guiding like the expert parachutist who you are strapped to when you do a tandem jump...keeping me safe and issuing commands holding me tight as i spiral to earth again from the place that He takes me.The landing.........sometimes a little rough but in general safe and secure and just as the chute is undone and removed from you so to are the ropes and cuffs that have held you safely in your play.
 Not only is the play like a jump, but my faith in my One is likened to the trust and belief that one must have in your tandem parachutist.........The enjoyment and pleasure from the experince can be taken  knowing that there is no doubt that we are safe on our submissive/Master journey , for He strives to make sure that all things are right for us all, and we all can function as a whole.
