Commentary and Secrets : Friday Evening Mojo Happenin' (July 16)

Each day I am increasingly astonished by both

1. the degree of insight and honesty pervading the secrets people share and
2. that they chose to share them with us.  

Accordingly, today was a banner day for the freeing of secrets.

I think the synergy of  

• Luna prompting "write a good secret;  the juicier the better"
• fostered by that ole collective unconscious rollerblading down the bike path in a gold lamay suit trailing gold, silver  and hot pink stars and dosing the airwaves with a high end concoction of the good stuff
• all set on the evening stage, on a Friday evening stage, no less,

led to the pervasion of good stuff: insight and honesty.

Thanks to everyone for participating!  So many of these secrets have resonated with us in ways we can't quite articulate (yet) ...  and we wish things we can't quite imagine (yet) ...
