Rubber band ball

I used to have one of these rubber band balls. We'd compare whose ball was bigger. It's nothing really, just a way to keep all the rubber bands in one place. I'd get a batch of the donation cards, tied with the band; pull the band off; get through the batch; wrap the band around the ball. And thus the ball grew. With time it got a bit dirty, but I never could toss it to the trash. It represented many hours of work and many donation batches. Band by band the ball came to its tremendous size. Dollar by dollar we were gathering the funds. The ball reminded me that sometimes seemingly unimportant things in life can lead to greater accomplishments.
The rubber band ball can symbolize our society. sometimes what we do seems just as unimportant as a rubber band. Yet it plays its role in the grand scheme of the universe.
