Why do we wrestle with God? 
Her question hung around 
my heart 
long after it was presented, 
discussed, 
and discarded 
for a less invasive topic.  

Why do we wrestle with God?
 
Yesterday’s me would point to ego 
and vanity 
and pride; 
but today’s me simply knows: 
we wrestle with God
when there’s nowhere left to hide.
