The Safe Word
Limits, the no you never say, and the mood you call it instead.
- Figure
- The limit you never say.
- Pattern
- Not having a no. Or having one and calling it a mood.
- What it protects
- If you never say it, you were never the one who stopped it.
- What it costs
- Nobody can stop what nobody says.
- The move
- Decide the word before the next time.
- ON FILE
- A stop sign, in use as a tray.
In each position
HOW IT STARTED
You agreed to a word. You never said it. You have called that being easygoing.
HOW IT'S GOING
You are past the limit. You are describing the limit as a mood you were in.
HOW IT ENDS, ALLEGEDLY
You will say nobody listened. The word was never spoken. It was taped.
Three questions
- What is your word?
- When did you last need it and call it something else?
- Who would hear it?
A sample file
A sample file
This office is in possession of a stop sign, currently in use as a tray. It has carried a great many dishes. You have a limit and do not say it, and the file shows this has been recorded as being easygoing on every occasion it came up. If the word is never said, you were never the one who stopped anything, and that is comfortable right up until nothing stops. xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx The office has a word of its own on file and has not used it in this finding. The word can be decided before the next occasion, and the office notes that nobody has scheduled it. A limit nobody hears is just a mood you are in.
