Participate in I'm Afraid to Ask Anything of You by placing a private thought into the central vessel. Free whatever idea, concern, secret, etc. that has been trapped in your mind. Take a scroll from the ceramic's shelf, and with the pen plugged at the top of the vessel, write anything you need or want to say. Secure your note by wrapping it with one of the red strands of thread. Place it in the back hole of the ceramic into the wrapped stand where it will join the private thoughts of other participants—never to be read. The fabric surrounding this secret-holder contains prompted responses from others in St. Louis and around the country.
