I recently discovered a secret garden. During an afternoon walk, I decided to follow a very discrete wooden sign on a small gate that I had passed by so many times in the past: it just wrote gifts.
I entered a beautiful garden full of my favorite trees: pomegranate trees, pine trees, olive trees and fig trees… and vines… and flowers, so many flowers! It was the most serene place that I’ve been in a very long time and the thing that made quite an impression on me, was a small path, also surrounded with plants, which led to the other side of the land that was facing the sea.
A spiritual place of peace and quiet, that made me feel really calm; a memory that I brought back to my mind on this special religious day.
