- Description
- The image showcases an open scrapbook or journal spread against a black background. The left page is a collage composed of a variety of small, colorful squares and rectangles. These pieces include different textures and patterns, such as glittery gold, floral, solid colors, and abstract designs. Adjacent to the collage, on the right side, is a handwritten note on a white page. The note is written in black ink with some red ink. Above the handwritten text, two labeled tabs protrude labeled "FORGIVENESS" and "TENDER." These tabs are attached to smaller pieces of paper or card, each tucked slightly out of view. A brown, textured strip runs vertically between the collage and the note.

- Transcription
-
Because it is partially a choice. There's no denying, lessening or diminishing of the sweeping ways of loss.
With gratitude for the epic, quotidian experiences, the ups and downs, the particular people who were part of this life. Gratitude for the infinite beauty of creation. Gratitude for the awe of it all? The difficult ones who were great teachers, along with the wise, creative, gifted ones who showed me way? - Rights
