Made something this morning with my hands. Something simple. Something human. Something pure and powerful. Something I wholeheartedly own.
Thanks to some inspiration and guides from @rek and @neauoire
Did my own take on it and figured it out.
In those 20 minutes or so that it took to put it together my mind was clear. Spirits were high.
Cutting the plies between the pages gave me a strong dose of nostalgia back in school when our textbooks sometimes had pages still together and got missed in the separation process. We would tear them ourselves with our rulers. The sound of the paper tearing, the jagged edge of the page. The little paper dust left on the table. These are the things that bring me calm and happiness.

@256k@merveilles.town @rek@merveilles.town it's a meditative activity, I make 3-4 at a time when I need new notebooks.
