mortal sins

mortal sins When you think about sin, if in fact you do, what do you think about? Do you hearken back to your childhood roots where mayhap you were raised with the Almighty sitting at the table with you? Some just on Sunday, some every night…no every minute of every day. Do you conceive of sin in a biblical sense or a more personal way? The 7 deadliest or your own moral code? The 10 commandments or just feeling good about what you do? Ever wake up in the middle of the night, heart pounding and wonder if you went just a little too far? Or maybe not far enough? Sides of the same coin. Once, I was at a dinner party with a bunch of flaming liberals. Politics, religion, music, poetry a million fuck yous from everybody except the Dom. Finally as though it is of minor import, He asks, “what is the most morally reprehensible thing you have ever done?” Immediately the gainsaying begins with “define morality”. His response because he is a fucking Dom was, “one assumes you have done so at some point and so based on that, answer it or pass the stick.” (note: because we are all avid talkers, we use a talking stick sometimes to minimize chaos).  Thinking that he was being retaliatory, the gainsayer handed the stick to the Dom, smirking The Dom said quietly, “I did not stop when my submissive used her safe word”. While there were only a few at the table that recognized the implications of such a statement, it was clear by His tone that not only had this act been deeply wrong but that it had seriously injured his own self-worth. He passed the stick back to the gainsayer. Who passed it to a woman, who passed it on, and so it went until it found the Dom’s hands again, who held it tightly, with a look of gratitude. Silence is often comforting eh? Forming a soft mantle of understanding, constructing a space that allows the most powerful of energies to flow unimpeded. Without words, hands met hands around the table until we were all joined. I knelt before him, my hands on his heart chakra, his hands hovering above my head (the crown chakra), I took the hands of the guests on either side; placed one to His belly, one to my throat and began to chant. The room filled with light. Surrendering to healing, absorbing all the energy of all these souls, moving it to purpose. This is my truest thing. Knowing what it is to be broken, I wailed the dirty yellow green up from his belly, until his throat opened and he sobbed. The deepest blues, the most verdant greens, began to rise to flow up and down his spine as he straightened. Glorious purple filled my head, shot into the air. We all fell out laughing. For who were we? Godless sinners of this world. I drank deeply of my wine, leaning my head into His thigh. The gainsayer picked up the stick. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

the sticks shown in the image are aboriginal talking sticks. the carvings have meaning. many tribal sticks have dram catchers attached to capture spirits. i will admit that the stick my friend uses at her home is a rain stick. if tipped when passed, you get the benefit of the sound. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Sorry... no picture right now. . Nothing new there... Only once was I in a setting like that. . I actually lived in a commune for a short time. . Although we were mostly all strangers to each other, we decided to each open up. . It was sort of a magical experience. . Peaceful.

Sin doesn't mean much to me. I'm not all religious and nor do I believe in my own personal god or life after death. I try to be as amoral as possible which sometimes is difficult. Though I don't use the word sinful I will occasionally judge people for their actions, words and behaviour (or lack of them) if they behave in a way I wouldn't. I know that's arrogant as if I'm a paragon of virtue, which is why I try to remain amoral. I'm very interested in how sin seeps into our political and popular discourse. Very generally conservatives and the right think we are born sinful and we need a strong state and/or a free market to stop us being sinful, and liberals and the left think we are brought up to be sinful and we need an enlightened state and/or a thriving civil society to stop us being sinful. Sorry for being serious this Friday night!

I was born into the catholic faith so sin was firmly indoctrinated into my formative years. Now, having utterly rejected that faith for the hypocrisy it is, I reject sin as a concept. The only thing I can liken it to would be breaking my own moral code. I think the vast majority of people, as in 99%, are fundamentally good. I don't think many intend to be evil. Sadly, the 1% who do set out to fuck others over invariably succeed in their own way because of the acquiescence, consciously or otherwise, of the 99%. Love this post, your writing, McWickster.......

Speaking of -ests...the five most powerful words in this piece: "This is my truest thing."

" I lived in a commune for a while as well. it didn't suit my need for solitude but it was an interesting experiment. I think I could do it now." I think I could now too. . Maybe with just a little private time alone.
