Why “reverist” is a great word
REVERIST — [Noun] One who habitually indulges in reveries; a person of dreamy, abstracted, or impractical musing. From English 'reverie' (a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing) + the agent-noun suffix '-ist'. Unlike a realist, who fixes a steady gaze on the world as it is, or a pragmatist, whose hand is always on the lever of utility, the reverist is a connoisseur of possibility. They are the solitary figure tracing phantom constellations in the ceiling's water stain, the listener who hears a symphony in the rhythmic clatter of a train, the one who can spend an afternoon architecting a life they will never lead—a quiet testament to the human capacity to find sustenance where there is ostensibly none.
