We called nature morta..erano some old jars that my grandmother had always guarded with great care and respect, and also that they had a great economic value but how to cure them methodically and at the same time loving, they had made over time the symbol of Our family intimacy.
He told us, but we do not believed, he told us that he had inherited from an elderly woman who in turn obtained them for quite tempo..diceva which were magical objects, capable of great wonders, but we were just old vessels ..
When my grandmother died a prodigy shook our casa..i flowers vessel had changed their color, the dry leaves were reinvigorated in a light green, the same pots gave off a warm, bright light that played a happy atmosphere to any room , a surreal but sweet ..
Even today I guard those old vessels, have returned to their color newspaper, but I know that when the time comes they will return to shine because they hold a great miracle, the miracle of love.
