My first reading of this prompt illicited the response, “I don’t pick things up from the ground and keep them.” Then I thought, maybe I should expand my thinking a bit. “Thing” isn’t limited to physical objects. With that in mind, the coolest thing I’ve found and kept is Astrology. I found it in my teens and have kept it to this day. What makes it cool is all its nuances that reveal information embedded in observable movements.
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
