- Description
- The image shows an open journal with two pages visible. The left page is tan with a vertical word "HOPE" written in large, artistic letters on the left side. Surrounding it is a decorative border of loops. Alongside, a repetitive handwritten incantation is inscribed vertically in small, neat text, saying "Jesus Christ," and similarly phrases repeated several times. The edge of the page appears slightly worn, and a piece of white tape is securing the edge. The right page is white with blue and black handwriting. The top half contains handwritten text in blue ink, emphasizing a personal commitment. Below, written in black ink, are names and a repeated mantra, "om namah shivaya." The paper is slightly yellowed with age. The date “Dec. 12, '16” is written on the right page in black ink. Each page seems to have a unique texture and color, suggesting different paper types.
