- The image shows an open notebook with handwritten text and doodles. The left page has a large oval with the word "Peace" written in red, followed by a list of topics related to peace: "nature, the work, friendship, small domestic tasks, and my practice." Below this, another oval contains the word "Puzzlement" in red, followed by a note about loving Doris Day and James Brown at the same time and later discovering Doris Day's private life. The right page contains more handwritten text, including phrases like "domestic," "decided by Clarence," and "And James Brown was not always a cool cat." There are also questions and reflections about kindness and forgiveness, with a note at the bottom about "Changing perception" and "Why?"
