The Invisible Life Raft

I am blessed and amazed at the end of the work week when I sit in a folding chair in a fluorescent lit room, with 35 or so other people to listen to someone share their most intimate story of what brought them to their lowest point of their life. Near death experiences, loss of jobs, family, spouses, self-worth, even the will to live-- and yet in front of me at this time is now someone who exudes life, glows, smiles and is just beautiful.
