Do You Want to Know a Secret?

One of the most intimate moments on The Beatles' debut album came from an unexpected source—the Walt Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. John’s childhood memory of seeing the movie with his mother inspired him to take a line from the movie and create a song with surprising emotional depth.

The song's theme revolves around that intimate connection when someone chooses to share a “secret”. This act of selective disclosure—the whispered confidence, the shared secret—creates an immediate bond between two people. 

This song also shows a deep level of trust between bandmates. Even though the song was deeply personal for John, he offered it to George to sing lead. This is especially significant given John’s guarded nature about his mother. George, in turn, embraced the opportunity and delivered a performance that helped establish his voice within the group.

For our "Come Together" theme this month, this highlights the foundation of genuine relationships. Trust isn't just built through grand gestures, but through smaller moments of confidences kept and promises honored.

Today, I will honor the confidences others share with me, recognizing that it is the building block of trust.

When was the last time someone trusted you with a meaningful secret? How did you honor that trust?
