paper planes, paper cranes

According to the Catholic calender year, today was All Soul's Day. This meant that not only was the mass dedicated to the memory of those throughout the year, but an added decoration to the church. A mobile made of paper cranes of various colors and sizes hung in above the altar. A note in the bulletin read, "Each of the paper cranes is crafted in the Japanese art oragami. In Japanese tradition the number 1000 signifies 'fullness' or 'eternity.' The paper cranes bear the name of a parishioner buried." I was instantly reminded of reading Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes

It's amazing that an inanimate object can fly but I cannot. I'd like to fly.
