William Joseph- Standing the Storm
“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” -Unknown

William Joseph: Piano Fantasy
The word fantasy is most often referred to as a term in psychology as a “mental apprehension of an object of perception; the faculty by which this is performed” and further as “the fact or habit of deluding oneself by imaginary perceptions or reminiscences” or “a day-dream arising from conscious or unconscious wishes or attitudes.” These definitions present an obstacle between reality and desire, and define fantasy as the mediator. ”Fantasy” and its many derivations originate in the Greek word, ‘phantasia,’ which literally means “to make visible.” Conflicting definitions arise from the varying modern uses of the word fantasy and its counterpart, phantasy, which is derived from the German word ‘phantasie’ (meaning imagination, in the sense of “the world of imagination, its contents and the creative activity which animates it”) (Laplance, 314). -Anna Brenner (The University of Chicago)
This piano song by William Joseph truly is “a day-dream arising from conscious or unconscious wishes or attitudes”!
