What inspired you about this video? a simple though profound desire to connect with people/strangers through a lovely but simple paper crane. the crane and statement Marielle inserted undoubtedly brought if not a smile, a heartwarming experience to the people she gave them to. it inspired me to find instructions on how to make the cranes and make some to give away....thank you!

I've been folding cranes for fifty years--ever since I lived in Hiroshima, Japan. I call them "Peace Cranes" and ask people that I hand them out to to work for peace. When I was diagnosed with cancer, 1000 were folded and hung for me. It's beautiful.

What inspired me about this video is that Mariëlle Coppes took the time to first think about making someone else's day with a small, but yet BIG act of kindnesss/thought. Many people don't care to see another persons happiness or a mere smile if it's not them smiling. Just knowing that someone else has a HUGE heart that loves deeply for someone other than themselves is what has inspired me. #Onelove

it shows that doing something positive or compassionate is slmple. maybe not easy sometimes. i am doing something simple. in the house i live in we have many ants. these can be annoying but i see them as living beings and instead of pesticide i gather them in various ways and take them somewhere out of the way.it is no big deal but very enjoyable to do something nice for someone else.

Someone actually demonstrating how easy it is--that most of us can have a healing affect on our society/world while having fun and healing our own cloudy spots in our spirits. Let's just DO it!!

I was introduced to the art of paper folding from Japanese exchange students that lived with my family in the 1970s. I was young and learned to appreciate other peoples' cultures through this program and keep sharing those values daily with those around me . . . paper cranes still adorn my home and remind me of my prayers for world peace every day. Glad to see others with the same dream and vision.

This is a very touching and great idea. It must have taken a lot of time and effort for her to make all of these cranes. But, I am glad she could make someones day a little brighter by giving them this special gift.

How "little" it takes to create a connection and make people happy. "little" is relative because it took some time and effort but what she did is something anybody can do.

It reminded me of my son when he was a young child and his love of origami and how much pleasure it brought to others. Even today it has an impact on those he shared it with, so to will Marielle's, lovely video.

It's amazing how a generous spirit of sharing whether smiles, kindness, thoughtfulness connects us altogether and allows our happy endorphins to flow, flow flow hence we benefit so much also. Inspiring.
