A lot of other explanations and definitions exist, but for me, this is the beauty of Origami. To transform a flat piece of paper in to a three dimensional piece of art, to breathe life in a static object with just your bare hands.

Zen, meditation, peace and relaxation. The joy of listening to the "oooh's" and "aaaah's" as little kids wonder in amazement at how the piece of paper turned in a frog, without using any tools other than your hands.
