"The psyche reveals herself in the form of images for that is her experience. If we wish to befriend her, to love her, we must take great care in how we react to her, as her life speaks of itself to us. Our relation to the image, therefore, becomes all important. When a friend tells us of an experience, how do we move in relation to it? We do not want to be interrupted in our story; nor do we wish to be rushed. When our experience has moved us we are connected with it through the telling. It lives as we tell it, especially if the other person is receptive. If the other is not, we begin to say words but are no longer connected to them. The telling has become dead. We wish we had not begun". Mary Watkins Waking Dreams P126
