Reverie: Drawing the Undrawn
"To make a prairie"
"Making room"
"I have quite lost my heart"
"Passage of time"
"Re-imagining generations"
"Our Trojan moment"
"The storyteller"
"Shadows across the decades"
"Apropos of nothing"
"The lady vanishes"
"Universal penetrability"
"Gone awry"
"A slower pace"
"Parchedquenched"
"Numb (a feeling of fullness)"
‘To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do if bees are few.’
Emily Dickinson
Undrawn: Not hiding but lost. Not withdrawn but undrawn. Internal objects unvalued rather than devalued. The not-yet-evident parts needing intensified, vitalising ‘live company’ to be claimed into connectedness.
Anne Alvarez
Reverie is “a quiet state of being in which images, bodily sensations, thoughts, words, sounds or ideas wander in and out of awareness without any particular aim or intention. The capacity for reverie is an important aspect of subjective development, creativity and the therapeutic process.”
Wood (2013)
