Just as there is no separation between the Living God and all things that exist, there is no separation between myself and the Garden. When I've asked God for anything, I've asked for the sake (the life, prosperity, progression, and understanding) of the eternal Garden, even inadvertently. There is no separation nor distinction between us. In knowing the Garden, whatever I ask of God for myself I'm also asking for everyone else, as God's gifts, wisdom, and understanding are truths.
And I seek to understand myself more everyday because I always want to be myself, and not be someone who tries to be something else - such as the one who (with integrity) tries to be a good example for the sake of being a good example, even though it isn't what they truly are. The subconscious mind has worked wonders for me in this regard, as dreams can be very telling of who you actually are. (I imagine this is less true for narcissists and folks who are so self-centered that their own subconscious minds glorify their lies.)
As for this path, given by God, it is walked in weakness, and yet, not driven along in fear. But who would be so foolish to cling to weakness? Who would be so stupid to travel alongside us? We are told everyday to be strong - strong and black, strong and woman, strong and trans, strong and man, strong and gay. But this path, set by God, it is walked in softness and weakness. You are every "fag", "punk", "bitch nigga" and "sissy" hurled your way. Even the most devoutly righteous religious person knows it is a stupid idea to put too much trust in God (except in emotional, spiritual, and other unseen invisible matters) - for all paths seen lead to the grave, and all its roads are smooth and sleek.
It takes a strong person to do God's work. It takes a strong individual to both recognize God's needs and be the one to fulfill those needs. But as the sissy psalmist sung, "God is my strength and my salvation." Their punk-bitch prophet said to them, "Woe to those who, rather than go to God, go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses; who, rather than trust in God's mercy, trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong. The helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall, and they will all perish together." ~ Isaiah 31. It takes a real true sissy to both lean on God and care (through deed) for the salvation of judgmental, cruel, and violent strangers. The Garden of God is care in trust, and trust in care.
What is the strength of mankind but an illusion; a mirage in the dry desert without a single life-giving drop of water for a single person? All its roads are smooth and sleek, and they're all built on the steepest of hills.
