at the songbird cafe
extra pennies left
for those who might need them
along with a tiny paper crane
for those who might need this even more.

“a master of origami said he tried to express with paper the joy of life,
and the last thought before a man dies.”
-tor udall, a thousand paper birds
Such beauty in a humble pic.

Oh that quote. I have GOT to read that book. (I would gently lift the beak of the crane, just enough to touch the paper, and leave the crane for someone else. How graceful those little birds are.)

It’s not quite folding money, but it sure is folded nicely, Beth.

If everyone left a plate of pennies and a small paper crane there would be no hunger in the world.

Who couldn’t use a wee crane on a Monday? My girls and I would make peacocks and dogs and hopping frogs while we waited to be served in restaurants. They always wanted me to leave one behind for the server.

Pennies are the cause of so many lovely acts. I’ve thrown more than a few in fountains over the years, making wishes. My Mom used to put them in birthday cake when I was a kid. Unfortunately in Canada they have been taken out of circulation. (I still have a piggy bank full of them, awaiting some special project.)

an enterprising, ambitious person might take the crane and try to sell it on eBay!
