The notebook is set against a dark background, and part of a white sheet with additional writing is partially visible beneath the right page. A green thread is attached to the notebook's spine for binding.

Left page: "And then the dream I've had before about "too many cats." I open a door and three one hundreds of scroungy street cats crowded in, immediately filling me with dread about the solutions for dealing with it. Strange night's sleep. Awakening for rain preparation for workshop @ Pathfinder Achievment Centre!"
Right page: "These kids we work with, I love them and worry about them as they look at the decades ahead." - Rights
