the burn

What is to give light must endure the burning.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Candles are so interesting. Just the smallest flame can illuminate the deepest dark, the rhythmic flicker of the fire so alluring and calls to this girl on a very deep level. Some people would say the wax is what fuels the candle’s burn, but after some reason a girl learned that the wick is made from a special material. The wick is naturally absorbent, like a towel, or it needs to have a strong capillary action to burn within the candle. The reason the wick does not burn is because the vaporizing wax cools the exposed wick and protects it.

This brought a girl’s thoughts around to slavery and the burn within to be of Another’s service. Perhaps the same can be said for the power exchange between the two, she must be absorbent to His will, open to His control, and willing to burn hotly to release His light. A girl hopes that the right One would not only protect this girls slavery but keep her safe while she burns brightly for Him. Along a girl’s journey, she has heard many references to the burn within to please Another. She has indicated that she has this drive about herself to be of service. Popular belief now is that to truly become enslaved to another, you must be fueled by this strive for His pleasure. Although this is a solid transition of power, an absolute show of devotion... there must be give and take. The wick will quickly burn itself out with out the protection of the wax, and the wax cannot mold the candle without the burn.

Hopes that this makes some sense as a girl is rambling and trying to make order of chaotic thought.
