The Encroaching Bush
While driving my daily route, I noticed a bush that was growing on the side of the road. It was a few feet from the street. Several months went by and i was driving the route. This time there was a car directly to my left, so i stayed pretty close to my lane. All of a sudden, the bush appears out of nowhere and i almost hit the car next to me swerving. Now that bush didn't magically grow four feet. I had been avoiding it, little by little- until that car prevented me from doing that.
This sounds to me much like a problem or issue in our lives that we subtly avoid.
Be careful. That problem may encroach on your life and "scratch your car" or "cause a wreck".
