Submission

It is not in my nature to submit. I prefer to have dominion over my domain. Not to rule over others, rather to have both freedom and responsibility of consequence for my actions.

My preference is to co-labour, to co-operate, and to co-ordinate. That said, as I learn an old craft but new to me, I must submit my work to the view of others that will judge me. Judge my words, judge my style, judge whether I am worthy of their publication.

I understand that no is a complete sentence. I understand that the world can be competitive, complicated, and often complicit to agendas hidden or not. I understand but do so with resistance to the very idea of submission. I would prefer to contribute (and I do) but maybe this pain is what I need to shed yet one more layer of my ego. This flagellation feels very Catholic, I must confess.
