How Did I Get Here?

It is easy to feel pessimistic and guilty about being a human. This ceramic vase celebrates two areas that cultivate the feeling of reverence and hope; gardening and space.

Retreating into the garden reveals the slowness and stillness of plants, a captivating dimension unblemished by thinking. Learning about space, how there are a hundred billion stars in the Milky Way or that our galaxy circles around the galactic central point every two hundred million years, removes self-absorption and points to the fact that we are not the centre of the Universe. Aware of the tremendous force that sustains plants, planets and stars one becomes part of it and the negativity dissolves.
