We all have secrets in varying degrees along a sliding scale from deliciously bright to dangerously dark. Sometimes we hold onto them for the sake of others, or to bond with someone, and sometimes we just keep our own secret thoughts in order to feel alive and singular. They float around in the background of our lives, drifting in and out of focus. We can wander through them at any time of our choosing, like a hidden garden full of buds and blooms, seeds and thorns.
