The more focused you are on what you are doing, the better the experience, but if you are not focused, you miss out on life.

One thousand Origami cranes (千 羽 鹤 Senbazuru) is a set of one thousand cranes made of Origami paper (鹤 tsuru) held together by strings. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand Origami cranes will have their wish granted by a crane, such as a long life or healing from illness or injury.

This makes them popular as gifts for close friends and family. The Japanese crane is one of the mystical creatures (others include the dragon and the turtle), and is said to live for a thousand years.

Origami (折り紙, from oru, to fold, and kami, paper) is the Japanese name for the art of paper folding. The only requirement for origami is a piece of paper, making it one of the most accessible arts.

Spending time making origami is like a moment of meditation, of mindfulness. It's a great way to take a break during this busy month of December.
