“Look, the expectations..” He said with a very low tone, recommending her not to have them, if not for herself.
But her, having always used premonitions as previsions, was unable to give in to the idea. Maybe it was the result of how she felt growing up.
Expectations are almost always illusions. This she knew, but now, it came across like a gospel truth to her, more than ever. But there are people who create illusions and feed on them. If you try to, the clear boundary of the conflict between the real condition vs. hopes, expands itself, thus becoming time, a time during which, by closing your eyes, you can already enjoy. She closed her eyes.
The white light entered by now from the window, who knows what she had dreamt of…so many familiar faces. She kicked at the bedspread and got up, starting to build up a new, great, expectation.
Great Expectation is a large painted construction. It works exactly as those mental constructions we sometimes create in our minds and which climb from the ruins of our delusions towards new desire.
Great Expectations is an anthem to desire or ambition, it’s for the dreamers, in spite of everything.
