ABSTRACT
This chapter had its origin in the request that I give a talk about the role of reverie in making my stone sculpture and in working with my patients. When I delivered the talk I was very intent on speaking directly to the audience, an audience composed primarily but not entirely of clinicians. Although some of the marks of oral presentation have been edited out of the present version, the material still bears the traces of this initial context; the reader will still sense that I am addressing the audience members—now readers—directly, trying to make the process I am describing vivid for their imaginations.
