"When God created Adam out of the ground, He placed him in the midst of a glorious garden. When God made Eve, He took her out of the Adam-ground, and transformed her into a garden (Song of Sol. 4:12, 15). God had made Adam out of the dust of the ground (Gen. 2:7) and made woman out of the dust of the man (Gen. 3:19). So God made Adam out of dust and placed him in a garden. God made Eve out of that glorified dust and naturally made her into a glorified garden. And so it was that God made the woman into the garden of gardens, the crown of all creation."-- Douglas Wilson, Bone of My Bones
God crowned His creation by making a man out of the mud and God crowned the man by making a woman out of him. The woman is the crown of crowns, the most cherished possession in all God's creation. She is a garden within the garden, a source of life within the land of life, fertile soil living upon the fertile soil.
The man is Eden incarnate, dirt made flesh.
The woman is flesh glorified, man made Edenic.
Woman is Eden on the move, a garden on-the-go.
