I Made 10¢ on Medium!

Thanks, Medium! Hope is blossoming again.

Congratulations, me!

If I can earn a dime without posting in ages,

what might I earn

if I ended my sabbatical of disheartenment?

Someone’s reading my stuff. I made 10¢

on Medium!

I’ve won the lottery.

There’s no poverty worse than hopelessness;

nothing more priceless than regaining faith

to have faith.

To open, along with a laptop,

the ability to dream,

the grace to see

the gold within one nickel and copper wafer,

the insight to become a medium

of gratitude.
