If:
- You are already close to running late
- Your well didn’t get water in it yesterday because you forgot to fill the cup
- You do your devotional at 5:30 am before caffeine
- You are trying to establish a regular practice but still get to work on time
- Your well is a beautiful wooden bowl made of pieced woods in different colors that was a gift you can never replace
Then:
- Your wooden well will have cracked along a seam in the bottom from having water left in it the last time you did ritual
- You will not notice this until half the well has emptied out the crack in the bottom, soaking the entire top of your altar
- You will be out of paper towels in your altar room, and will have to make a mad dash to the kitchen to get some
- Your old ceramic well will be full of wine corks, which have no other place to go, so you will have to leave them in a pile on the counter
- When you empty your old well, it will be full of cork dust, so you will need to wash it
And then:
- By the time you finally get back to your devotional, you will have forgotten what steps you did and have to start over
- Making you at least 10 minutes late getting out the door
