Leatherbound Tome

This is the placeWhere you solve the mysteryOf yourself,Writing down the cluesThat emerge in dreamsAnd hummed notes.Your patterns and symbols,Your sighs and exclamations:Transform themInto words on a page.They are glowing stonesMarking a pathTo your heart.You discover a leaf-wrapped parcel at the foot of a tree. The Owls have sent you a book to help illuminate patterns and connections in your life. When you open it, you see that the pages are blank. Your beautiful journal is handmade.  It is bound in rich brown repurposed leather embossed with the Tree of Life.  It features a tie closure and flap which can be used as a bookmark.  It contains 100 pages of unlined handmade cotton paper (the flecks and irregularities are part of its charm).  The cotton is a repurposed byproduct of the textile industry.  Each signature is individually stitched.  As a whole, this tome is 7 x 5 x 1.5 inches.
