How very often I am walking along and notice the glint of a penny on the ground. That disk of shiny copper that feels so warm in your palm when you lift it from its discarded place. Most often they appear in parking lots, which leads me to believe that they resided in a pocket nestled next to a set of keys that when extracted, toppled unnoticed to the ground.
Or, rather, was it noticed, but disregarded for its lowly monetary value? Do we fail to realize the great amount of worth that a pile of pennies represents? "Just one penny" when joined by many others, soon amounts to something larger. The sum of the parts?... Next time you spot a penny, either bend to rescue it, or rather...leave it behind for me to find when I travel that way, for surely I will rescue it and add it to my collection.
