— unpredictable thoughts

On Sun­day March 29th I saw this tweet:

Life metaphor through artifacts.

The mem­o­ries and voices of more than thirty seven years have arrived, been placed, and tem­porar­ily cap­tured in this well shaped box. Words have been spo­ken by and to the inhab­i­tants after being deposited and then removed from this con­tainer.  The metaphor of give and take expressed in this arti­fact — his­tory, mem­ory, family.

I fol­lowed the link and found the image and this short story.

The beauty of this object and its sto­ries made their way to me — from the cur­rent holder of the ves­sel who is des­tined to remem­ber each time a new voice finds itself inside this container.

How sub­lime. A new draw­ing comes to mind.
