embracing the catalyst

[Vestige]

I totally get this too.  I really often am amused by the whimsical side of catalyst.  It is like I nearly could hear my spiritual guides chuckling at what is falling on me, lol, the wicked scamps.

I laughed at the obsession of the clean sinks creating such strife... I am totally in line with that too, lol.

I really wonder if not the majority of posters here didn't go through a monastic incarnation because the issue with horrific sinks is definitely a thing tackled in monastic life, lol.  I always find great meditative joy in cleaning floors on my knees, there's a lot of nice things in buddhism for sure....  

So to me, Vestige, you are most probably a past monk or nun, lol.  So please enjoy your epicurean present life !!

Thank you for all your sharing

Monks grumbling praying over sinks - I can definitely imagine that!

Funnily enough, when we had our work aptitude day at my high school, I was adamant that I wanted to be a traveling monk.  I do find the 'zen' in many things, especially cleaning.  And there are several saints I really admire, like Thérèse of Lisieux.  
My 'astrological birth chart' had apparently shown "religious leader" and "healer" past lives, so perhaps you're right.     However, now, I certainly enjoy more being a 'monk with no order,' just some guy loving the Creator.
