In my morning reading, these words from Matt struck me as so relevant for our group:
Language gives us the power to voice our experience, to reconnect with the world, and to change our own and other people's lives. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you", wrote Angelou. Silence is pain. But it is pain with an exit route. Words are seeds. Language is a way back to life. And it is sometimes the most vital comfort we have.
