strange as angels

And so the mother lamented the curse of her child’s being, and the child wept, and thought all to be lost. And as the mother drove away, the child became a man. And this man said: There is no place for me. I will end my life, in whichever way I find achievable. And God looked down, and She lamented what she was seeing, and She said: Fear not. You are a man now, and you shall face many trials, and at the end, you shall receive my blessing. And presently, the man came across another: an angel, and a transsexual, and the angel said, “You can probably just lie to the driver and they’ll let you on the bus even if you have no money,” and through this mundane statement, he was saved. And he was given bread, and fruit, and it was good. And when once more, he came close to despair, the Lord whispered to him: Thou art divine creation, and I am within you always. And he was relieved, and boarded the bus without consequence. And when he was lost, he remembered: God is inside of me, and lo- She sent another angel. And the angel said: “I like your hair. Yeah, you can probably take the 234, and it’ll take you right on home. Good luck.” And when he arrived home, he knelt in his bedroom, and the Lord said unto him, Well done, my son. Your name shall no longer be that of your mother’s daughter, but of my son, for you have struggled with God and men, and prevailed. Rejoice in the blessing of self-creation. ]
