origami soul
open
the envelope:
make
a paper crane
from which your mind
can unfold its wings
and fly
let me make my bird soar
for I think I have enough
paper and words
to use
to open up the possibilities
that come
when I embrace
my wings
and
origami soul
origami soul by Erika .
A collaboration with my dear friend Jordan
A poem about the soul’s flight and embracing your own freedom.
Jordan’s video captures the essence of this poem beautifully.

oh Mimi….
you have no idea how nice it is to read your comment. I wrote these words months ago, and your paining Hahk, I think it’s called,(hope I’m right) the one with the paper cranes in a light blue background came to mind as I wrote it. I love origami and I feel you can relate to this piece as well ;)
And we’ve inspired you? Oh wow! I absolutely cannot wait to see your paper crane and goldfish piece, it’s going to be brilliant :)
It’s an honor Mimi, thank you so much, always xoxoxo
