until its creases resembled the patterns on the back of her hand
My clumsy fingers poking in between layers
trying to make pockets with those squares
I heard it's where they keep our wishes
and devour the paper fishes
She said, "You don't have to recite the steps if you learn it by heart,
then you'll remember how to do it like a work of art.
Origami is a lesson in life about patience,
and this must be passed down through generations."
Purple paper crane – how can something so frail hold so many stories?
Purple paper crane – a beautiful cradle for all our memories
The best things we give should be the things that will never be lost
and the most valuable things we keep, should be those that don't have a cost
The day when you finally understand why
is the day the paper cranes in your heart begin to fly.
