- Description
- The image shows an open journal with two pages displayed. The left page features a hand-drawn map with various interconnected blocks labeled with phrases like "Rest Stop," "The Garden," "Nature," "The Journals," "Writing," "Friendships," "Quiet Time," "Animals," and "Music." The map appears informal and is bordered by undefined shapes. The right page contains handwritten text in a casual script, listing questions and phrases such as "what will be the bricks?" and "what is the mortar?" followed by a list including "Quiet time," "The practice," "Nature," "The garden," "Friendships," "The journals," "Writing," "Healthy habits," "what are the rest stops?" and "What are the dangers?" The journal pages have rough, worn edges and a rustic appearance.

A bold red letter "A" is placed at the beginning of the text. The right page continues with a narrative about a visitor named Maria, discussions about a project involving a series of photos, and the anticipation of the New Year with a mixture of emotions.
