A hand-thrown ceramic vase, titled and signed by the potter.

I found a tall ceramic vase at the Goodwill across the parking lot from the Walmart in Windsor, CA. The vase is embellished with a pair of bronze female silhouettes, sort of primitive cubist nudes. There\u2019s a label taped to the base reading \u201cSpirit Women\u201d. I can make out a signature imprinted in the clay beneath but I can\u2019t bring myself to remove the label for some reason. When I recently unpacked the vase after moving to my new house, I discovered within this vase a small handful of eucalyptus leaves, a dozen pine catkins, and some dirt. I threw out the dirt but replaced the leaves and catkins and I\u2019m at a loss to explain why. Sometimes my own behavior is a mystery to me.
