Kneeling

One of the things that Master and I like is that our relationship is always changing and growing. We tend to talk a lot about what works and what doesn't. We know that things will change over time since we, as people are also changing and so it's important that our relationship also changes to accommodate that. Master also thinks it is important for me to talk about how certain things make me feel. I'm expected to be transparent with my thoughts and feelings. I may have some leeway (in that he doesn't mind me taking some time and space to get my thoughts in order) but eventually, once I have cooled down, I'm expected to be open and honest with how I feel about things.

One of the things that we have started to incorporate is my kneeling and kissing his feet. Its something I have been doing randomly for a while now and we both enjoy it quite a bit. I love the feeling of kneeling before him, kissing his feet and then looking up at him from the floor. It calms me down and helps pull me out of the daily grind, reminding me that there is an extra level to our marriage. There are many times when I find myself pressing my forehead against his foot. It helps me feel better on days that I am feeling out of sorts or upset about things. There isn't a set length of time that I am supposed to stay down there and I don't have to wait for a signal to move.

After I have knelt and kissed his foot, I kneel up and wait for him to react. He usually puts his hand on my forehead. Sometimes he strokes my hair. Often, he kisses my forehead or the top of my head depending on whether I am looking up at him or not. When he is ready, he tells me to get up and usually at that point I am allowed to get directly into bed for the night.

Originally, I was simply supposed to kneel by the side of the bed and wait until I had gotten permission to get in. This new routine has replaced that. Of course, at any point Master could tell me that he wants me to still wait for permission but that hasn't happened yet. I asked Master the other night if he prefers this new routine and he said that he does so it looks like its here to stay.
