letters of the alphabet

I’m thankful today for the letters of the alphabet. I can use them to write things down…or to make things up. I can arrange them in any order I like, whenever I choose. I might scribble them or type them–marching them across my computer screen, like obedient soldiers, or tossing  them haphazardly onto scraps of paper, in playful shapes and colors. I love them as if I’d invented them myself, every curve and every angle. They’re mine, all  26 of them, to use as I please…nevermind what my inner critic says! And you know why that is, don’t you? Say it with me: I’m a writer.
