I find it intriguing when I make that chance discovery of coins in a fountain or pool. I’ll pause and gaze over their numbers and think, “Wouldn’t it be cool if you knew the represented wish of each coin.”
In ancient times wishing was an appeal to the invisible forces that surround us and just maybe they’d respond favorably if we made an offering. Nowadays, I wonder to whom we address when a wish is made.
Myself, I rarely have any change in my pocket. Transactions with plastic are but a stream of electrons and always exact. But if I do, I can’t resist. I’ll make a wish and toss a few coins into the water, just in case.
I think we still have a connection with the invisible forces. There’s plenty of evidence in the pool.
