Metaphor for Meeting for Worship

Just was we need to regularly get our teeth cleaned to keep them their best selves, Meeting does something similar for my heart. It's like a heart cleaning - getting the plaque out. Cleaning my heart of all but love to be stronger, more focused, more open. It forces me to be in a meditative state for long enough that I can go through all the thoughts in my head, put them aside, and have some quality time just focusing on my Light. The same can be true with morning meditation. There is always so much to do and think about, so it is good when I clear all of that out to focus on love and my calling (being the change I wish to see in the world). It can't happen without clear intentionality.
