Description
The image shows an open notebook with a red cover, laying flat against a black background. The notebook is opened to display two pages filled with handwritten text. The left page has faint, inversely written text, likely due to the writing on the back side of the page showing through. The right page contains clear, legible handwriting written in black ink. The writing on this page appears neatly aligned with the notebook's ruled lines. A red ribbon bookmark is visible.

Transcription
This career has been a perpetual act of faith and trust. that is a long way to answer the question - those things happened not simply because I love this work, but because I was tasked to do them. I love the process of community/social practice.
