Journeys of the Heart
Meditation on Origami
by Courtney Firth
Fold
Crease
Smooth
Repeat
Stare at creation in wonder.
Declare in exultation "I am an artist," as all people are,
Once a medium is found.
The first try won't be perfect.
Nor will the second the third, or the fourth.
Start again.
Allow the imprecision and imperfect form to bring beauty to the world
and drop all illusions that even the simplest creations
do not
cause
struggle.
Let your fingers remember the path and get lost in their actions.
Breathe.
Fold
Smooth
Crease
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Heart Tip
Any square of paper can be folded into origami. Try using newspaper, magazines, old calendar pages and more!
