If you've never visited the blog, PostSecret, do.  It gives a glimpse into our humanity that is rarely seen or felt, in such a visceral way. Photo by Foxtongue

My friend, Sally Spencer-Thomas, recently saw the founder of PostSecret,  Frank Warren, speak at a conference and blogged about what she learned. It's a brilliant post.  I was especially captivated by the quotes from Warren on the nature of secrets, including these:

“We keep our secrets in a box. Sometimes we bury them deep like a coffin. Sometimes they are like a gift that we open up and share with others.”

“When we think we are carrying a secret, sometimes it is actually carrying us. Blocking us from what we might otherwise be.”

“At the center of these secrets there is a kernel of wisdom we can grow from.”

Great food for thought at the start of a new year. My thanks to Sally for capturing Frank Warren's wisdom.
