Diaristic Notations

Regret

I told her I wanted to do the writing workshop, but I was through with words. She said ok. Later in the day she said I needed to use words.

How can something like a word be both so nondescript and so boundless at the same time?. In our writing group last night there was a poem that contained the word “regret.” I cut the letters out from the back of a photo, thinking about regrets with every cut of the scissors. I wanted to be surprised how it came out so I didn’t look at the front of the photo as I was cutting. What I didn’t figure on was that the letters were backwards when I turned them over. Then I wondered about the words of the ten commandments on the tablet that God handed to Moses. The letters went through the stone. I wondered if God turned the tablet around or if Moses first saw the commandments backwards.Embryo:
