Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suppose You wanted to
\nSpin a Yarn about
\nLove and Fear,
\nwherein
\n– Spoiler Alert –
\nLove Wrestles Fear
\nto the Ground
\nwith a Move that begins
\nin an Embrace and
\nEnds with Fear
\nPinned to the Mat,
\nSurrendering to Love.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a Yarn:<\/p>\n

The Maker of
\nAll That Is
\nPours Divine
\nLove and Light and Laughter
\ninto
\nTwo Human Skin Suits,
\nthen Plants Them in
\nThe Garden of Paradise.<\/p>\n

To Liven the Plot,
\nThe Maker also
\nPlants two Trees:<\/p>\n

One is Life,
\nwith Fruit that
\nSmacks Their Lips
\nwith Love,
\nThe Other
\nbears Fruit that
\nwill Sour Their Faces
\nwith the Knowledge of
\nSomething called \u201cEvil.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then some slithering,
\nLying Snake persuades
\nOur Divine Twosome
\nthat Knowing Evil
\nwill make Them Wise,
\nbut It only
\nmakes Them Fearful.<\/p>\n

And hence
\nThe Wrestle,
\nLove and Fear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a Yarn,
\nbut I submit that
\nWe Light Beings
\nLove a Good Wrestle.<\/p>\n
