Sarah loved to collect fabrics from around the world, including velvet from France, linen from Ireland, and cotton from India, but her favorite was a piece of silk from Japan that felt like a dream against her skin and shone like liquid gold in the light.

Every time Sarah walked past the silk, she couldn't help but run her fingers over the smooth surface, which was a reminder to her that beauty could be found in the simplest things like a piece of fabric, and that it was important to appreciate it whenever possible.

While admiring her collection, Sarah noticed a small tear in the silk from Japan, which made her feel a pang of sadness at the sight of the imperfection as if a little piece of the beauty she had admired for so long had been lost; she spent hours researching and experimenting with different methods until she finally found one that worked, so she decided to fix the tear and preserve the fabric.

As Sarah carefully sewed the tear back together, she realized that this small act of restoration had brought her even closer to the beauty of the fabric, and from that day on, she made a promise to herself to cherish not only the beauty of the fabric but also the work that went into creating and preserving it.

Sarah's passion for fabrics grew as she became the go-to person for any textile-related questions, attending workshops and conferences, immersing herself in the art of weaving and restoration, and creating her own pieces by incorporating different fabrics and techniques into her work.

Sarah, who often received visitors who came to see her latest creations and admire her skill, was proud of her progress but never forgot the small tear in the silk from Japan that had inspired her to make a promise to herself to cherish and take care of the things that are important and to recognize the beauty that could arise from restoring them.

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
