Secret Worlds

For some odd reason over the last couple of days I've had occasion to think about the linked images of secret gardens and secret worlds more than once. Partly this was a result of reading again Anthony Stevens's nifty little book on Jung in the very fine Oxford Very Short Introduction series. It's not quite as good as Anthony Storr's introduction to Freud in the same series, but it's not far off, and I can't give much higher praise than that. Stevens's opening chapter is especially good, and that's where we start looking at a very special secret world.

My thoughts culminated this evening in a very simple idea. If you're aware of your own secret world, prize it and protect it. The frost will come. We are creatures of the seasons.
