Everyone’s experience is made up of moments, events, memories and mental self- talk that play a major role in one’s life and create a special world which is unique to each individual.
Some people exist in this world continually, their states of mind (reality and dreams) indistinguishable from each other. These eventually becomes a constant, unending internal dialogue for them. Some choose to disremember this world and others record it in words and pictures. Perhaps, it is a safe space or solitude with words that exist solely in that place and are the only things capable of understanding and empathizing with the person.

The idea for this collection came about from the words and images from a friend’s world recorded in a notebook. A friend who did not hesitate to share her world, the words and its pictures with others. In contrast, there are many people who consider this domain of words and images as solely their own, and it is the only space that exists for them and the “None Shall Enter!” sign is displayed at its gates.
My notebook, the safe haven of words from my moments, events and life is so spe- cial and unique. It has created my very own personal and mental space. None can read it or see or hear it. It is a sacred place for me.
