An everyday jug is Rilke's idea... the poem on the whole is verbose or maybe self indulgent like its title ("I Am Much Too Alone in This World, Yet Not Alone") but it's also about things being just as they are, no more, no less.
Most people i meet are little jugs, little containers of the pieces and words and woes that make them up. And most objects could also be jugs if you wanted them to, the same way there are teapots and piggy banks and boxes shaped like all sorts of things. I didn't realize until later that if you google "jugs", you get pictures of bare-chested women.

Mammalian cards part 3: two sorts of bears
Nothing says encouragement like a little koala bear.
For a little person who I miss. To bear-level proportions.
