Wrestling with the Angel (Genesis 32: 24-32)
What does it mean to wrestle with the Angel? For certain, it means to not retreat into one’s secluded room of favored icons nailed to the walls. It means to risk one’s soul in standing firm, toe-to-toe, mirror image of the Angel, countering every move. Hopefully this grappling where one’s hip is put out of joint will turn into a tango of smooth embrace, where leading and following merge into strong content. No dead relaxation here though. The music and the dance can change at any time.

And so we limp away from the "match" with a new heart and mind... One that recognizes the Christ within... And no longer struggle to gain control, just walking hand and hand through the garden in the cool of the afternoon...
