Welcome to the Hildegarden. The gate is always open and we hope you’ll stroll around and enjoy the expe­ri­ence — so much so that you’ll want to return often, perhaps plant some seeds...
leave your foot­prints, share some glean­ings, do some digging...take away a bouquet.
(Okay, that’s a lot of metaphors, but after all it is a “virtual” garden...)

Please help the garden grow by contributing your stories, links, obser­va­tions, etc.
We can make a difference...beginning with our inner circles and expanding to the entire world and beyond.
We can continue to protect and preserve this “Cosmic Egg” ...
but even more: We can make it better. In our own way, whether it’s quiet contem­pla­tion or coura­geous conflict; or whether the medium is the arts or the sciences (most likely a combi­na­tion) —  we can do it through  connec­tions. (And yes, that word is certainly overused today, perhaps because it simply defines the zeitgeist.)
