"Christy, please, rise up." Amanda insisted, kindly.My friend, upon coming face-to-face with Amanda, suddenly dropped to her knees, bowing in the woman's presence. The act made several observers in the park, pay particular attention to both her and Gabriel. I mean, how often does one see an African American kneeling in front of a young white woman, standing next to an Archangel, and not start to question the situation as a whole?Amanda's careworn and sad eyes silently turned to me for help. Here she was, God and Lord of Creation, with infinite power and unmeasured influence over everything, and she turned to a lowly human for help. I think I loved her more in the infinity of that small moment than at any other time, in all the time that I knew her - in corporeal form, that is."Christy," I tried to whisper. "People are starting to reach for the butterfly nets. You need to get back on your feet.""She's God," was all the woman could bring herself to say - that below a whisper."Sorry," I softly told Amanda.The woman smiled at me, silently thanking me for my attempt. "This is how it goes, Nathan.""Moses stayed on his knees for almost a week," Gabriel added. "If not for the burning bush, the fool would have frozen to death.""Why do you think 'the why' of how I presented myself to him, Gabriel?" Amanda's words were so matter-of-fact. "Why, Christy, are you acting this way? Now, and at this time?"The Christy's eyes dripped with tears, "According to some, I am an abomination in your eyes." Her words were shaky and filled with fear. "God, I do not want to be seen by you in this way."Amanda turned to Gabriel as if to silently ask the question, "Is there something here that I am missing?"Gabriel, just as puzzled, could only shrug his shoulders.Amanda, although her pregnant belly caused her discomfort, bent down to stare Christy in the eyes.When Christy held her eyes open, that is."I am...gay," Christy said the words as if her body was made out of cancer. She proceeded to tremble in an almost child-like fear.Amanda huffed out a surprised laugh.Not out of insult, but admiration. Pride in the pure honesty of a sinner who never understood the meaning of the word.Amanda kissed Christy on the forehead.This caused Christy to cry, openly."Oh, no," Amanda soothed. "Hear these words, child. They come directly from your God."Christy held her breath, and frankly, so did I."Yes, God?" the woman inquired. I had never seen Christy so open or honest."I do not care how you love, or how you are loved, while during your mortal life. The only thing that matters, or contains real worth, is that you are loved. Life is finite for a reason - so that when you come to live within the walls of my Kingdom, you would have known something more potent than even me. Love! Even I was born from love. There is no wrong way to love, Christy. Unless its roots are evil or one of being used, love is the center of Creation. Cherish it, and be not afraid."Wiping her tears away, Christy's face, by degrees, slowly returned to that of the woman and friend I have always known."Then, you see nothing wrong with being gay?""No, woman, I do not," Amanda winked, again kissing the woman on her cheek. "I said it once, and I will repeat it - Fuck the Bible. Live and love as one family, forever and ever.""Amen," Gabriel bowed, himself moved to tears.
