This is what SRFF is all about...

I read the thought for the day - from Hazelden - this morning (thanks to the member that shared that website not too long ago) and thought this was a really nice thought. I think it perfectly describes why SRFF is soo important and why it is helping me so much (just thought I'd share)....


You are reading from the book Today's Gift

The universe is made up of stories, not atoms.
—Muriel Rukeyser

There was once a storyteller who told many people of her life. They listened and heard their own stories in hers. Hearing her story, they didn't feel so lonely anymore. Hearing about someone else who had lost things and people she loved, who had felt lonely, scared, and unsure of herself, let them feel less crazy when similar things happened to them.

Because of the healing they felt through hearing someone else's story, some of the listeners decided to become storytellers themselves. As they recounted their stories, they found that letting out secrets that had bothered them for years freed them to feel good about who they were and who they had always wanted to be.

What secrets can I share today?
