When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When
I created man I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you,
woman, I fashioned. I breathed the breath of life into man because your
nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I
could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that
he could not interfere with the creativity of ME.
From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's
life. I chose the strong yet delicate rib which protects his heart and
lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Your characteristics are
as the rib, strength yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection
for the most delicate organs in man, his heart and lungs. His heart is
the center of his whole being, his lungs hold the breath of life. The
rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to
his heart and lungs. Support him as the rib cage supports the body.
Around this one bone I fashioned you. I shaped you. I created you
perfect. Your eyes, don't change them, your lips how lovely when they
part in prayer, your nose so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to
touch. Oh yes, I've touched your hands, I've held your heart. Of all
that lives and breathes you are the most like me. That is why I made you
the mother of life. You see, you woman, reside in me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He
could not see me, or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I
wanted Adam to share and experience with me I fashioned in you. My
holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, and support, my protection.
You are special because you are the extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together you represent the
totality of God. So man treat woman well. Love her, respect her for she
is fragile. In hurting her you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to
me. In crushing her you only damage your own heart and lungs. Woman
support man as the rib cage. In humility show him the power of emotion I
have given to you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love show
him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
