Mini Pot Project
I was in Mexico a few weeks ago and each day I left a small pot I had thrown with a poem inside, The Clay Jug, by Kabir, at a different site, then digi-photographed it. I left my email, along with the poem, so people could let me know that they found the poem and tell me about. I have only had one response so far but it came from Belgium!
The idea was to see if/how/when people responded once they found the pot/poem, but I think a lot of people might not touch the pot thinking it was a religious offering or something, like a Budhist prayer pot. Though, we did get a photograph of a woman picking it up, and as I walked away I heard her exclaim, "oh a pot!" then she returned it. another woman, at another site, picked it up and just examined it, then returned it.
I thought this would be a wonderful experiment to try out on campus. Did you find the pot with poem? Click the edit button above to tell us about it!
