- Description
- The image depicts an open notebook resting on a black surface, with visible handwritten text on two pages. The pages are a light brown color. The left page contains text discussing themes of peace, freedom, anger, and family dynamics. The handwriting is neat yet irregular, written in dark ink. The right page continues with reflections on physical limitations, work completion, and a personal anecdote of gratitude. In the background, partially covered by the notebook, there appears to be another sheet of paper peeking out, with some text visible along the edge.

this hard earned peace, this freedom.
Give it away in anger, annoyance, irritations, willfulness, selfishness. It may hurt Kelly to know I enjoyed being here in our little house, without his, outbursts at the cats, the phone, politics. But then the whole question of two and more, of family, of marriage comes into play. These are the great teachers - the great evidence of our weaknesses & faults.
Physical limitations now. A feeling that the most essential work of 29 Pieces is completed. It happened the day Hope's grandmother took my hands and said, "Thank you for saving Hope's life."
The work now is just extra. What do you want ME to do? - Rights
