thx, judih, for taking the trip.

may I add to the list my faith in crazy clouds and raven haired beauties....wired

Santiago Kovadloff, an author I knew from his stories for children and that I´ve been reading this week, wrote in one of his essays about the difference between esperanza and ilusión: " Es que la estirpe y el espesor de la esperanza provienen del deseo y éste no se nutre jamás en circunstancias favorables ni en la certeza de que alguna vez las habrá. La esperanza es rasgo distintivo del ser que insiste en ser, en desplegarse contra la apariencia adversa. Insistencia que no responde a la presencia omnívoda de una voluntad empecinada sino a la inaplazable necesidad de proceder, de obrar en función de lo que se busca. Al imperativo impostergable de actuar de conformidad con la convicción que se tiene. En esa acción consiste la esperanza. Es a ese empeño que es búsqueda y encuentro simultáneos, que al unísono se perfila como la sed incesante y el agua que la colma, a la que cabe llamar esperanza". He wrote 14 pages developìng that, and they are worth reading!!!.
In my personal vocabulary esperanza is a bit devaluated word. We tend to use "esperanza" for concrete-precise-only-one-sided-possibility things. I use more "faith" now, maybe a more vague, paradoxic and wide-range-alcance word, but also powerful and nearer to what I feel.

Thanks for the stream, Cecil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thx, wired one, for adding to the (short) list. you're in good company.

ah, Arcadia! are you sure Santiago is not taking the simplicity of hope to the realms of illusion with his essay..? my 'babel fish' translator speaks in strange tongues!

gracias, amiga mia, para los palabras de una 'chango de china'. ((como yo))

well, it´s possible...!! words and illusion... but we have words or words have us, and we have to do something with them or with us or... something like that, no?
have a good week!!

arcadia: "(words)...and we have to do something with them or with us or... something like that, no?"
