@boulderdailycamera : Memorial Crane Project landed at Museum of Boulder this week. [This] collaborative project has received support from folks throughout the world seeking connection and an outlet for their sadness in the midst of a pandemic. What I see is a rise in the need to come together and to mourn collectively the magnitude of the souls and its impact on all of us, Funderburk said.... According to Japanese legend, if someone folds 1,000 cranes his or her wish will be granted and blessings of eternal good luck will follow. If someone folds cranes and gifts them to someone else, it is said to be an offering that will act as a reprieve from pain, grief and sickness. We appreciate the historical origin of the Asian cultural art form of origami and we look forward to serving as a community resource and gathering place for guests who move through the space and/or fold cranes, said Lori Preston, executive director of Museum of Boulder.
