Gardens, havens of creative energy and new life, provide especially tranquil areas for meeting the angels. If you have access to such a place, go there often and invite the angels to join you. In San Jose, California, and other cities across the United States, the local municipality has established gardens for the community. San Jose maintains a spectacular rose garden and cultivates different varieties of roses, from hybrid teas to tree roses. Such lush and lovely gardens serve to “green up” urban America, and they have become an important part of city planning and urban renewal.
If you don’t have access to such a garden or your community hasn’t started a garden, why not create one in your yard where you and your angels can spend time in communion together? Your garden can be formal or informal; it is your choice. You can plant herbs, vegetables, flowers, berries, fruit trees, roses, and climbing vines, or include all of them in a French-style potager (kitchen) garden. You can plant in a way that creates a labyrinth (around which to do meditative walks), or cast the seed wherever and let it be a wild place. Hang wind chimes, place bird feeders around, and plant giant sunflowers to feed a variety of wild critters in the garden. Add a bench, a large stone, or a stump to sit on when you are not gardening and can talk with your angels.
