This notebook is therapy and breviary,

wailing wall and garden of delight.

It keeps my secrets

and catches my dreams.

As wind sighs among branches

where jays chitter

and squirrels chase joy,

this notebook is the sap

in my heartwood

drawing on Source

like roots on groundwater.

Leaf by leaf

it tells me my thoughts.

Page by page

it supples my soul.
