You are right. It is indeed a good exercise to try and draw a line somewhere between what we thought we knew and what we really know.

Thank you a million times for the research on the Borges quote. I really appreciate it, and so much more knowing that you got your beloved involved in the dutiful task of finding the master’s observation on our Argentinian sense of friendship. If you ever come across it, I would be delighted to read that again in some form.

Once again, it is a pleasure to know you have dropped by, and I am looking forward to our next meeting, either at your cyberplace or mine.

Best regards,

W.

PD: terminé de chequear en el libro en cuestion (ella tb lo releyo) y estoy en condiciones de afirmar, que la cita referida no pertenece a ese grupos de entrevistas, del buen Borges. Tengo otros libros de entrevistas, si los miro y los encuentro….se lo hago saber. Soy metodica, tarde o temprano lo encontraré jajaj

Thanks for dropping by and leaving that imprint of innate (and acquired) wisdom that characterizes you on this space. Suffering is indeed a weak currency, and I agree that Werther is only useful as a fictional character. At this point in my life, I am more and more inclined to make my savings in the hard currency of work for healthy and nurturing relationships. However, I must confess that the exchange rate is quite unfavorable these days.

Whatever the case, c’est bon de faire un bilan de soi de temps en temps. I am there, right at that point where only the greatest poet, Dante, could show the way. Exploring is what this is all about.

Thanks for your birthday wishes, Fiamma. It does not matter that they may be arriving at a later date, their expression is what counts.

Regards

You are so right in describing that string that keeps us from merging with other people’s reality, mind, thoughts and soul. Sometimes the line is thin, sometimes it is so thick that it makes even communication a challenge.
So you are full of doubt? Good for you! By the way, you are not babbling at all, you are expressing the uncertainty that makes and breaks us with amazing clarity. I see you have lived, and I am glad life is not passing in vain on your side.

Thanks for your birthday wishes, and read you soon!

Regards,

W.
