I often find one everyday on the path I walked on but did not pick it up since it's only a penny for my thought.

I'm afraid it's an infinite loop where and when there is no end and no beginning. Now I'm starting to think it's a doubly linked infinite loops. One pushing inward while the other pulling outward in a perpetual balance of everlasting local infinitesimal dance of circular motion.

what intrigues me about this thread is the number 3. it seems to me there can only be 1 number. freewill or determinism, possibilty allows many futures, closed is not one. second verse same as the first. odd numbers allow doubt
