We call them tokens, or gestures: “what a lovely gesture, thank you for your token of kindness.”

 

These words are diminutive. That small gesture, that seemingly-insignificant token can be the world. The little things that we do to remind people that we care, that we are thinking of them, that their presence in our lives — in no matter what capacity it may be — makes our world a better place, those are things that resonate long after their immediate impact is felt.

 

That card that came in the mail is not just a pretty piece of stationery, but instead a reminder that someone is missing you, that without you nearby there is a small absence in their heart. That plant left on your desk is not just something to brighten up the office, but a way to show appreciation for the mentorship and guidance you have given someone, guidance that has helped them find a new path.

 

They are tokens, gestures; we may forget them quickly, but the feelings behind them linger long after that gesture or token has faded from memory.

Various objects and trinkets are left at Chief Sealth's grave, in Suquamish (near Poulsbo), Washington, on Port Madison.

 

Check it out large to see if you can spot the dice, the 10,000-dollar bill, the Sharpie, the bus transfer, and the Tic-Tacs.

This collection, which brackets the full span of NYTA token use, was accumulated by riding the subway either as a college student or as a guy dragging his family to see the American Museum of Natural History or a Broadway show. Sometimes, to see both.
