There is a story that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, you get a wish.
Looking at the devastation in Japan....I find myself holding my breath, not being able to take it all in.
My colleagues and I had been folding cranes for a memorial for a friend who passed away in January, and had reached our goal of 1,000+
Perhaps you'll make a donation to an aid organization of your choice and take this photograph as a reminder of your wish for the Japanese people as they recover.

One of my favourite books in the world, Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes, is about a young girl that developed leukemia 10 years after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She tried to make 1000 cranes to get her one wish, a cure. She almost reached 1000 before she passed. It's a true story about a girl named Sadako Sasaki. It's beautiful, but heart wrenching. I'd definitely read the book if you haven't already!
