I don't think that we are talking in absolute terms here. Nobody is
dictating what origami should or should not be.
There are only particular points of view and personal preferences
being expressed.
If a person ever has the nerve to say to me, what can I use Origami
for, I immediately tell them that it is the journey, not the arrival
that counts. My feeling is that this is applicable to life itself.
And so it has been with me since I was 32 and first met Florence
Temko who introduced me to Lillian Oppenheimer. I will be 87 in
January. I have been learning and still am learning new models
everyday. And the journey has certainly made my life very special
and interesting. I don"t know about the arrival but I can say from
great experience that the journey has been very special and wonderful
and made my life very worthwhile.......Dorothy Kaplan
