Rewind

by Sondra Harris

Sometimes I feel as though my voice is making a difference, and sometimes I realize that that doesn't matter... I hear myself and I believe, and thank heavens that's enough, because it may be all there is. I write not because I am good, or because I think I can become good, but because I cannot stop. Even if I give up trying to make a living at writing, I will write. I tell my stories, with or without an audience. I share my opinions, whether or not anyone cares. Once, I wrote in a burst of six sentences, and oddly, reversing the order of the sentences, from last to first, did not change the meaning of the piece.
