A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy

Tension is an interesting quality - and architecture must have it. There should be elements of the inexplicable, the mysterious, and the poetic in something that is perfectly rational.
Perhaps the more benign and poetic sense of God is established when we are babies in the moments of primal joy we might call 'the epiphanies of infancy' - the sensation of being blissfully held and feeling complete and at one with everything - yet having no words or no need to say it but instead to just assimilate the feeling.
All the senses awaken and fall into harmony in poetic reverie. Poetic reverie listens to this polyphony of the senses, and the poetic consciousness must record it.

you mustn't rely on your flowers to make your garden attractive.

Flowers are an added delight, but a good garden is the garden you enjoy looking at even in the depths of winter.
Drink deeply. Live in serenity and joy.
Theres nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad. We must learn to water our spiritual garden.
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
I have committed myself to joy. I have come to realize that those who make space for joy, those who prefer nothing to joy, those who desire the utter reality, will most assuredly have it.

In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, someone must believe in joy.
