We are all inspired by each one who favors a “secret garden. Starting with our love of life and what we put on paper, canvas or anything creative. One place we have is described here as a ”secret garden” on Triond.com where we create. The “secret garden” could be the point of origin where ideas begin.
The “secret garden” can be many things and from many walks of life. The many tiers may start when we are young and continue until we reach our majority in life. Many changes in our walk. Many maturing moments, feelings and rewards.
As children we love so simply and as adults its seems so complicated yet I wonder? We have our “secret garden” all through the growing years. It comes in many forms. Fantasy, exploration and pursuit of many creative goals.
Sometimes we loose the wellspring of this “secret garden”. We have dry periods. The negative blues I call them. If were open sometimes we remember to tap into that child like quality we never really loose. The pretend center and the reality center of child like quality where we go to create.
Back to our topic “secret garden” which I see as real and sometimes fantasy. The creative center. 
It is what we make of it in ordinary everyday life. To some it is elusive and real eventually understood and known. Yet others see it to as a fantasy plane. Creation in our own minds before it becomes a solid work.

A real physical plane like a painting or a photograph. Or something dreamed in our own minds and put on paper or canvas. To us a real place and sometimes a magical fantasy place. It is a real “secret garden”, a real place, or an imagined story about anything. Most of all real or imagined it can be a sacred place in our minds of discovery.
To a greater or lesser degree are we not endowed with creative gifts, from all walks of life? Yet to be discovered? We all have “the secret garden” we seek and know in different ways. On different tiers.

Either religiously/spiritually, artistically, technically or scientifically. Each from a unique perspective. We all contribute in and to “the secret garden” place. We know many, writers, poets and artists of great renowned.
So my hat and glass are raised to all of us who find, seek and favor “the secret garden” in our real or imagined world today. Take a chance and explore your creative side in a positive and constructive manner.
The “secret garden” in simple terms is the creativity of the mind in a special way.
