| November, 07's JOURNEYS SHARED
offering is a poem from one of our readers. THE POWER OF A PENNY A little short, I pay the balance due on a large cup of coffee at the general store with a few extra pennies. Some small talk then with the owner about their personal value - you know, squashing them on the tracks of the great Trans-Canadian Railway when we were kids, using one for a fuse during a thunderstorm, or as material for making pendants while he was a machinist in the Pacific Fleet. An excuse, really, to talk about nothing, and everything, simply spending time over pennies.
