"We are cradlers of secrets. Everyday [people] grace us with their secrets, often never before shared. Receiving such secrets is a privilege given to very few... Sometimes the secrets scorch me… other secrets pulsate within me... still others sadden me. Being a cradler of secrets has, as the years have passed, made me gentler and more accepting"
Irvin Yalom, M.D. The Gift of Therapy.

I like this statement. Especially in light of the knowledge that our 'secrets' keep us sick. I've been blessed to have shared in the secrets of others and see the two sided benefit, but I forget that I need one who can be a cradler or keeper of my own as well.
