Is they're ordinary basic inexpensive  collectors of dreams disappointments mileage scribbles doodles facts and figures A crayon mark  or two Sometimes they're blank  like a mind can feel or like a sadness or a fresh start,  a new beginning  with the possibility of an end or eternity Sometimes they're a continuation of ideas  The thing about notebooks the containers of one's soul,  potential,  possibility, is people dismiss them as mere notebooks without appreciating the fact that anyone who bothers with a blank page may never be the same  The thing about notebooks is the infinite variety in which they're bound,  that people want to read them the ones that are filled fat with words,  oozing with thought, seeping with taped in mementos receipts, tickets, love letters to do lists notes a thumbprint coffee stains and the magnificence  of what's contained in the creator's mind somehow finds its way into the world  leaving an indelible mark on those lucky enough to read them
