Hester chose an event in 2007 when we asked which moment in the last 26 years shaped the person you are today. She had just 46 words, 20:26. Here's how she responded...
Beautiful. And I love how, in this piece, the second part of 26 words is not so much all the time passed since the "colon" of the moment (which is how many other writers treated it, myself included) but an instant of realization. A "before" and "after" contained in that moment itself.
“Colossal relief to know I did not matter.” Love that.
Hester’s reading is beautiful. Coming very soon…

Wonderfully poetic
Beautifully said
