Sir Larry's 2 minute speech 7/22/06
Hello,
I'm Sir Larry I was born Sept 5th 1964. As a teen, I rejected my
Catholic upbringing. To this day, I'm happy about leaving those roots
behind. But in the process of turning my back on religion I also made
the terrible mistake of losing my spirituality. For the longest time I
thought that religion and spirit were the same. I went from childhood
to the age of 35 with no sense of spirit, though at times I'm sure I
convinced myself otherwise. In retrospect, there was a part of myself
that was closed off. Five years ago I was fortunate enough to meet
three people who would end up being my mentors and so, my M/s journey
began. As I gained more knowledge about this way of life I surprisingly
found an inner peace and self-confidence. This self-confidence was not
based on ego; it came from the heart.
I
am a Master who is reclaiming my spirituality. I'm learning more about
my spirit every day. I have learned that it's never too late for
growth, discovery & peace of mind I thought in the beginning that
Mastery was going to be about me. I learned there's
greater value in giving. The more I give, the deeper I find that well
spring is with in me. I have more to give to my slave, my leather
family, my biological family and I even have more to give to myself.
The harder I work, the luckier I am. Through Mastery, I have become a
whole person.
As ambassador for our community I'd like to tell people both in and out of the M/s community that Master /slave
relationships can open a wondrous door to your inner self.
I
feel confident in this belief because I know what this lifestyle, this
community, you people out there have done for me. Good God damn, I'm
alive again.
