The Small Notebook

My small notebook
was made in Nepal.
Its hand-made pages 
come from the Lokta plant.

In the top corners are images 
drawn in coloured ink:
the eyes of the Buddha,
the symbol for Om.

In the centre of the blue cover
Is a red and gold mandala,
a circle inside a square
inside a larger circle.

For the January writing course
we're told, 'Get a beautiful notebook'.
Serendipitously my bro, 
not knowing, gives me this one.
