When I think of symmetry I think of things being exactly matching on either side of an axis, be that a reflection or as a mandala. Something that needs a long, close look to fully appreciate.
Blaise Pascal says that “symmetry is what we see at a glance”.
Sat on the floor, relaxing in the bonds after the exertion of the previous lift, I noticed him running the lines around my waist and under my thighs. As he pulled them tighter I noticed, in my daze, that he was creating a double column tie using my body and legs as two separate columns. I chuckled at his cunning but couldn’t quite work out what was coming next. The simple addition with a new twist had thrown me completely.
We chatted and laughed together as he adjusted ropes, lifting me from seated to kind-of standing. Something about my position brought symmetry, the March prompt for Sinful Sunday to mind. As he guided the spikes beneath my nyloned toes and attached me to the frame from my hips I told him about that.
One last rope and he stepped away, sat down on my couch. Rendered completely immobile, aside from little steps I was able to take, the slight rise and fall of my chest as I stretched out my folded body.
Further appraisal from 1001011.
“Nope, you’re not symmetrical”, and he was back on his feet. Next tying my ankles, and adding in my hair, my mouth. And still I smiled…
I may not have been a vision of reflected elegance, but if Blaise Pascal is right, you might just find perfect symmetry with each glance at the image. And when you look more intently you’ll see… A snapshot of a wonderful evening of playful rope with my cheeky friend.

Perfection (or perfect symmetry) is a myth (imo).
I once had a friend tell me that the more symmetrical a face is, the more attractive that person. I thought about it and found that yes, those people were beautiful, but they lacked something. Something important.
I also realized that I liked people with scars, a big nose, or a lopsided grin. I liked that they weren’t perfect, but instead had character 🙂 Perfection takes away from our uniqueness.
While looking for a quote on symmetry the thing about faces kept popping up. I completely agree, about preferring character to perfection.
I do love a wonky smile, and I’m very glad that people enjoy my uniqueness.
Is that an acupuncture mat under your feet? I’ve been interested in those, but never dared to order one :p
Love the picture and the post, symmetric or not 🙂
It certainly is, it’s not bad really (says the woman who loves kneeling on lego)
They are on a par with a tac bra, but mire tickly than irritating
I love that image – u look incredible and also I have to steal this from Mrs k as it is so bloody true!

I am always thought that perfection is about imperfection. That fine line between the two is where things get interesting and that picture illustrates that so well

I had another picture lined up for the promotion (edited to be symmetrical) and I’m so pleased I chose this one.
Beautiful image, N!

Thank you Marie, I love it. There are a couple more from further along in the tie, and I’m sure they will appear at a later date. N xx
Maybe the symmetry is not perfect, but overall it looks nice.
