- Description
- The image shows an open notebook on a black background. The left page features faint blue handwriting that is mirrored, making it difficult to discern. The right page is dated "Oct 27, 2016" in the top-right corner and contains a neatly written passage in dark ink. The text discusses themes of the human body, spirit, prayer, and the infinite, and it includes references to God and the self. The notebook has a branded footer reading "Christian Lacroix," and bits of colorful, patterned material peek from beneath the left page, suggesting the presence of additional pages or elements.

- Transcription
-
The human body is finite. The spirit is boundless. Before you begin to pray cast aside what limits you and enter into the world of the infinite. Turn to God alone and have no thoughts of self at all; only God exists for you when self has ceased to be.
