In offering our myths, our experiences, our traditions, we find them. In laying down our understandings, we gain them. It is what Paul, Ananias, and Peter choose to do. Life awaits them in these strange events. It does not fit their myths.
New life is found in disruption.
First, accepting that the Easter event is a disruption. Second, seeing the power of meals to provide the context for the opening of our eyes may allow us to countenance this disruption. As the disciples are working to believe what is appearing before them, it is the common meal that creates the space for knowing. Again, the countenancing of disturbance seems to be helped not only in the acceptance of Easter as a disruption and the sharing of meals, but, third, by venturing out. He could have stayed ensconced in some figurative or literal hiding place.
