The wall-to-wall carpet that I bought in 2012 had been vacuumed regularly but had never been cleaned. It didn't appear horribly dirty, but something prompted me to have it cleaned professionally a few days ago. When the carpet cleaning technician arrived, he announced that he had cleaned my carpet once before. He appeared to be in his 50s. I can't say that I recognized him. My rough guess is that he cleaned my carpet at least 20 years ago because I can only recall having someone clean my carpet one or two other times since I moved here in 1984. He did a fine job.
In order to have my carpet cleaned, I had to move some furniture and numerous other belongings into my kitchen, my hall closet and out onto my porch, leaving much more empty floor space than I usually have. It occurred to me that it would be a good time to let go of some of those belongings and free up floor space. Then it occurred to me that, while I was at it, I could let go of other belongings and free up table and shelf surfaces.
Among what I let go of were origami that were scattered around my living room on shelves and tables.
This morning I was given the tiniest origami I have ever seen. Orizuru.

Isn't it wonderful that when we make space, beautiful things come to us in its wake. I desperately need to free up space in my home, but don't feel i have the time or bandwidth to focus on it at the moment. Ironically, if I made the time, my bandwidth would increase. Thanks for this reminder.
