There is a time and place for all things - including the dissemination of truth.
Recently I have been asked to keep a secret. No, I’m not telling.
Now I recognize that I actually keep a great number of secrets on a regular basis. It is a greater part of my occupation as a card reader. “Keeper of Secrets” might be a better job title.
Complete strangers take a seat across the table from me and within moments we are addressing their innermost concerns, the secrets held in their heart.
Very little small talk. How refreshing.
Now the person leaves my table and with them my memory of our conversation. Only a blessing to carry on their way. No ties to anything.
Having a safe place to divulge a secret often provides a much needed relief in itself. Quite possibly this is one of the main healing functions found in the age-old ritual of going into the church confessional.
In providing this service of secret keeping, I seek only the highest and most loving response from a place of non-investment in your personal situation.
Such a place of honor.©
