Your Fortune
Dreaming of Apples by Janelle
Today I ate a fortune cookie.
It was rather delicious.
It had a delicate sweetness and a touch of vanilla flavor.
The fortune said
“GOOD NEWS IS COMING YOUR WAY-
IT WILL BE HERE ANY DAY”
I took the fortune and wrote your name on it and have passed the essence of it on to you.
Now it is your fortune.
I love you.

Her Two Cents on Your Fortune
While I was searching Flickr’s Creative Commons for a suitable illustration I kept unearthing photographs of fortune cookies and paper fortunes – which wasn’t quite what I wanted. This computer generated image by Janelle immediately grabbed my attention – maybe it was the red over-sized apples or that glistening point of light… Regardless, this work conveyed the same sense of hope and love that was apparent in the message.
Gentle Readers: Who doesn’t love a good fortune cookie? Even if you choose not to eat the cookie part discovering the inner message is more than half the fun (although if you didn’t eat the cookie would that void your fortune??) Have you ever received a particularly meaningful or interesting fortune? What was it?
