of this awareness can be taken
beyond paper folding and into
everyday life.
Then of course, each fold for each
shape is equally important for the re
sult. So even the slightest mistake is
compounded over time and will af
fect the final product. This is exactly
what's going on in our "civilized" na
tions. Our mistakes of the past are
being compounded, sundering the
equilibrium of our planet, perhaps
permanently. It will be hard to un
fold the mistakes and turn them into
different shapes. Also, fold enough
shapes and you will eventually mem
orize many of the forms. I lowever, it
doesn't feel like a mental memoriza
tion, but rather one that comes from
the body, almost stored directly in
the hands.
Yes, this is probably a reach for
some. Perhaps I've waxed too
metaphorical. So, for the cats who
want it put more literally: The idea is
that it's time to stop separating our
selves from the trash heap that civi
lization has created and start identi
fying with it — the treasure, and the
trash — and combine and refashion
what already exists to stop producing
so much crap.
