“Gumball Machine 2”

gumball fortunes
not worth their coins
tawdry prizes of
undersized dreams
invest in ambition
healthy hopes
reach for moons
hearts in orbit
absorbing stray sun
beat and breathe
with high purpose
to light the night
drawing the sleepless
most curious minds
to discoveries worth
more than life
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

I didn’t realize there were “gumball fortunes”.

that’s because you dream big – it’s the small dreamers that wind up with a handful of gumballs

Oh you’ve got me laughing again! My dreams are deceptively small (more on the impossible side)–so it’s a good thing I’ve got the “gratitude and contentment” thing goin’ for me.
