John Mayer - Waiting on the world to change

Category: Personal

…now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want …

“This Visual game of hiding the profiles of political figures in sprays of flowers (or in the branches and leaves of trees) was a way of simultaneously conveying support and celebrating them by floral association……”

“Napoleon’s assurance to this supporters, on being exiled to Elba, that he would return in the Spring - “the violet season”- was celebrated in the display of bunches of violets, and in numerous prints of the flower with this profile hidden in them……”

Transitional Object

Category: Insight, Play

When the young child begins to separate the ‘me’ from the ‘not-me’ and evolves from complete dependence to a stage of relative independence, it uses transitional objects. An infant sees himself and the mother as a whole. In this phase the mother ‘brings the world’ to the infant without delay which gives him a ‘moment of illusion’, a belief that his own wish creates the object of his desire which brings with it a sense of satisfaction.- Wikipedia

Key attributes of the transition object include:

  • The infant has total rights over it.
  • The object may be cuddled, loved and mutilated.
  • It must never be changed, except by the infant.
  • It has warmth or some vitality that indicates is has a reality of its own.
  • It exists independently of ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ and is not a hallucination.
  • Over time, it loses meaning and becomes relegated to a kind of limbo where it is neither forgotten nor mourned.
