I entered the Mother’s Superior’s office and quickly stood at attention. She seemed to be exactly what people think of women who hold such positions - a shriveled up asexual woman without any humour whatsoever..
I learned to hate her before I learned to love her. She was that type.
However, once I had learned to love her it was truly the greatest love I ever had, and likely will ever have. Mother Superior was a diamond, whose greatness was reserved for a select few women, and from what I had heard, one priest.
She exhibited in the most natural of ways, empathy for others and a wise understanding that bubbled up from the very center of heaven. Mother Superior was one of the only people I had ever met who was able to conquer her desires and replace them with compassion for others. I did not entirely agree with this aspect of Christianity, which stated that the holiest of holiest must separate themselves from the hear-and-now, and their ego. This seemed somewhat preposterous to me, as the fact that we were born with individuality, it seemed logical that we should not bury that aspect of ourselves, but more so celebrate it and disseminate far and why. Yet, I knew that there were some, such as Mother Superior who would practice otherwise; she made the needs of others, her needs.
In some inexplicable way, she did this in an altruistic manner, which I entirely believed and trusted, unlike the ways of many bankrupt men and women of the cloth.
I suffered as well from my relationship with Mother Superior. It was not uncommon for the sisters to bemoan the fact that they could not love her in more ways than just emotionally. This is difficult to understand for many mere mortals - for those who constantly live in the mundane and drab. The negativity that that commoner experiences when they think of such a relationship – that of a sister and her Mother Superior – is ignorant.
Love at its essence does not carry such silliness in its bosom. Love is unlimited; it is unfettered; love is the mane of our short-necked existence. It only takes on the aura, sometimes a negative one that we bestow upon it. In truth, we loved the Mother Superior so deeply and so purely that making love to her seemed to be only right. It made sense.
Think about this. Incest is currently the most read topic on erotica websites. Why? It is because we love our family, and we would love to love them in every way; but we have been told that it is wrong for two consenting adult family members to touch one another. We therefore store those thoughts and feelings away in an attic that is locked upon consciousness and never, ever re-opened similar to the secrets of the great magicians.
I loved the Mother Superior and would wish that she would simply shake my hand from time-to-time. She was perfect and I felt compelled to live harder when touched by her perfection. It seemed natural that I should love her more.
One night, well into my second year at the institute (some call it a nunnery), I found myself dreaming erotic thoughts about Mother Superior. Although her face was really wrinkled, in my dreams it was soft and her eyes were set apart so lovely, and her nose was a button one, and her lips, full. Mother Superior was exquisite in my sleep. Her body, although really decrepit and bent, was lithe and curvaceous like the old strippers. She laughed and danced around me, and threw back her head in laughter, as her breasts bounced delightfully. Up and down and around.
