Perhaps it's their billowing, feathery layers of petals, soaring towards the heavens. Or, perhaps it's the sense of peace that comes over me whenever I am around them. There's a grove of Paniculata Hydrangeas in the park next door, that always remind me of angels. Boughs of white flowers wrap around the back of an old park bench, like angel wings. It's a peaceful, meditative place.
The idea of angels watching over us, is not confined to Christianity or Judaism. Buddhists believe that angelic beings listen to our prayers, and watch over us. According to both Islam and Sikhism, we each have two guardian angels for life, who record everything we do, both good and bad.
Those who've lost a loved one, are often comforted with the words that they now have a guardian angel watching over them. It is said that guardian angels communicate in whispers and coincidences, so, listen to your intuition, and observe coincidences.
It is also said that there are signs when a loved one in angel form is nearby. You'll see butterflies, or vibrant red Cardinals, or find a fallen feather...
