A wide mouth
an empty container
Open
but just a little...
so many jars... empty containers and wide mouths and people like me everywhere, but just a little or... very littlle! ! very very beautiful way to say. it seems some jars are not very empty
WOW...this is a brilliant idea, yes we dont have to talk much although we can talk a lot...enough with some words, i love the analogy...and yes lot of people have a jar mouth and spill everything all out and made such a mess hahahahahaha....loved it M.J
Exactly, Soul! ! ! And you actually are right about how I got the idea....someone was talking non-stop and I was watching as that person poured peas out of a jar for dinner....I did the math, and got the idea. Thanks so much.
A jar a vessel with potential to fill its contents but like a mind almost always empty thoughts are a jar Your filled with depth with just an inch, always detailed with just a line. My jars are filled with your brilliance. Fantastic M.J.!
You couldn't possibly be from Tennessee, could you? Have a look at Wallace Stevens's poem, Anecdote of a Jar.
Thank you, Lantz. No, I am not from Tennessee, but I do have fond memories of visiting that great state. I'm about to discover Wallace Stevens....

The gossips in town are usually shallow people. People who speak very little, and listen attentively, are the wise ones.
Too true, Richard, too true. The worst ones are those who confuse gossip with some kind of wisdom.
