Water
I think one of the points of Sufi stories used as teaching tools is to establish a framework whereby one can recognize similar frameworks in the ‘real world’.
I heard a story today which may well fall into this category. According to this BBC Article, artist Mark McGowan has created a ‘work of art’ which purportedly aims to raise awareness of water wastage. The installation consisted of a tap which was to be left running for the period of a year.
Unfortunately, the area where the gallery is situated has been experiencing a prolonged dry spell and consequent water shortages. Now it seems that the local water authority has been forced to resort to legal action to close the exhibit down citing a gratuitous waste of its water resources.
