make paper cranes with one hand

Three days ago I left a paper crane on the table as I finished lunch at the cafe. The other day as I stood in line by the cashier, I noticed her adjusting something behind her register. She smiled, as if it were a little keepsake of hers. As I stepped up to the register to pay, I noticed the paper crane sitting on her shelf.

I came away that day realizing that I’d brought just a little extra bit of happiness to someone else’s life, and in return I felt better for it as well. If paper cranes left in little places are all that is needed to make others happy, then I’ll gladly keep making them.

I sat down to watch some anime (Texhnolyze, which is turning out to be pretty awesome) and got to folding. I have officially folded my first two paper cranes with my left hand only :). now to speed it up to the point where i can make them at a satisfactory speed…

I got this idea from the way the Major can fold paper cranes with one hand as a reminder of her past. I still need to find time to do it though because it definitely wont be easy.
