The poems also contain numerous typos and missing periods, making for puzzling reading from time to time (as in: “A Mother’s verse and rhyme/ is about love everytime, she is a Rose/ Nursery school children will tell of their puppy or cat they are Babies Breath/ and that’s that.”)Ī Penny for Your Thoughts celebrates this author’s life and religion, and other Christian readers who enjoy Hallmark-style poems may appreciate its offerings. For example, “A Jewel,” a cheerful ode to the speaker’s granddaughter, ends: “A jewel is what she is/ Priceless like a pearl/ Yes, a pearl/ My little girl.”ĭiscussing a willow tree in the midst of a storm, “IRON WILL” offers this well-worn comment: “The weeping willow tree may bend/ but it will not break.”Īnd “America” overlooks the current divisions over immigration in this country for superficial thoughts: “From North to South East to West/ American has a right to boast from coast to coast/ It embraces all who want to be free/ Come and see/ American stands for God’s given liberty.” Unfortunately, most of the other poems, while earnest, are replete with clichéd imagery and simplistic statements. ![]() It contains the questioning lines: “…When did/ she steal you away/ Was it midnight or on a sunny day// Did she wear red satin or black lace/ I knew she had you by the look on your face.” Here, Johnson compares the disease to a tantalizing mistress who has stolen the speaker’s husband away. The most distinctive work is “A Love Song,” about the narrator’s husband, who has Alzheimer’s disease. Johnson’s poems are short, rhyming pieces with homey images and messages of positivity. A Penny for Your Thoughts by Penny Johnson is a short collection of poems about the author’s faith in God and Jesus, her family, and nature as God’s gift.

This evidence lends direct empirical support to an extensive theoretical literature in economic growth and urban economics positing that more ideas can emerge from communication between individuals. I started A Penney for your Thoughts, to provide a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space where you can come in, sit down and take off the mask. Our results provide quantitative causal estimates showing how a fall in communication costs can increase the rate at which scientific knowledge is exchanged and new ideas and technologies are developed. We study the impact of this reform on the production of scientific knowledge using citation links constructed from a leading academic journal, the Philosophical Transactions, and the impact on the development of new technology using patent data. The result was a large spatially-varied reduction in the cost of communicating across locations. This reform replaced the previous system of expensive distance-based postage fees with a uniform low rate of one penny for sending letters anywhere in the country. How do communication costs affect the production of new ideas and inventions? To answer this question, we study the introduction of the Uniform Penny Post in Great Britain in 1840. ![]()
