From the exchanges I have had with you, and also this publication, you have truly made me realize that sewing is both a simple and complex art.

I'd like to highlight this for a moment:

Over time, without realising it, you adapt to the needs of the machine and not the other way around.

Absolutely true. I think that as the years go by we will realize that the machines we have created will end up making us regress to more weaker and dependent beings. Evolution, if the theory of evolution is right, is only the human response to adaptation. The conditions to which we are adapting don't favor us, it is only necessary to see what the screens do to our sight to realize it.

How much would you like to become skilled yourself and what skill would that be?

Recently I have had an interest in people who can guarantee their own food through cultivation, planting and harvesting. I don't really know much about it, but I find it wonderful to be able to provide yourself with all the food you eat, thing I'm not capable of. That's basically the only thing that catches my attention about agriculture. Maybe it would be good to be skilled at that, although land, space, readiness, etc. would also be needed, so for now it just seems interesting to me.

For the rest there are many things in which I would like to be skilled, but at the same time, none in specific.... A skilled writer maybe. :) But I guess you don't need to be skilled at something to enjoy it, and to do the best you can when you do it, so for now I'm content with that.

I'm glad you found what I said interesting, and thank you for bringing me to your pleasant post!

Edit: Very nice kimonos, by the way.
