Do you ever find allegories in your daily life that reflect your spiritual path? I do.
I cleaned out the sink in my artist studio today which was so disgusting and built up with all the detritus of every creative project I've had for the past year that it was blocked and no longer functioning as a sink, it reminded me of all the rubbish I have created and put in my brain for such a long time, thinking if I kept all my angry thoughts a secret it would be OK, just like my studio is private and my house is a showcase, I have only let people see the lovely side of me, but I and God knows what a mess has lurked in private.
I set to cleaning out that sink today with a purpose, far cleaner than it needs to be for a studio sink, but if it is a metaphor for my soul I got it very clean, but not perfect.
I read something recently about chasing out demons, but once you've cleaned yourself out, if you don't replace the empty space with God they wonder the earth looking for a resting place and finding none, they will come back to the place they lived in with even worse demons, sobering stuff!
Please let me know what allegories you have noticed in your life?
