Learning to Trust the Fold

Yesterday was about beginning.

Today was about trust.

For Day 2, I folded a simple origami boat. It’s one of the first things many of us ever fold as children — something we place in water and watch float, even if only for a few seconds.

As I folded today, I realised how much origami asks for trust. You follow instructions that don’t always make sense at first. You crease where you’re told to crease, even when you can’t yet see the final shape. And slowly, something starts to appear.

Life often feels the same. We’re asked to take small steps without seeing the full picture. We don’t always know where we’re headed, but we move forward anyway — one fold at a time.

Today’s boat isn’t perfect. The edges aren’t sharp, and one side leans a little more than the other. But it floats. And that feels like enough for Day 2.

Here’s to trusting the process, even when the destination isn’t clear yet.

Tomorrow, we fold again. 🌱
