But there is also something else. There is a place in this narrative where he is not someone else. He is inextricably intertwined with you. <br /><br />I sense you deeply feeling another person's suffering, and you recognize it with your pure and empathic heart; you understand it on a visceral level. And now I sense this experience in you, and I feel a connection with my experience of sorrow and angst, and an opening of my heart, too. There is a mirroring going on here, a mirroring of suffering and compassion. And just look at the creative energy you have brought forth from this deep connection. You and he, and now you and me and others reading this - we are not so separate, are we? <br /><br />There is big love at play in these fields.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432640322896933989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246967.post-84509862533854906372010-07-12T09:27:47.273-04:002010-07-12T09:27:47.273-04:00We always cling to the familiar.

Avoiding enmeshment and overinvolvement with patients is certainly an ongoing notion in need of caring vigilance.Keith "Nurse Keith" Carlson, RN, BSN, NC-BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581947410641941224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246967.post-91918513114382168302010-07-11T01:13:17.906-04:002010-07-11T01:13:17.906-04:00Your writing is beautiful, Keith, and your story h...Your writing is beautiful, Keith, and your story has stirred me.
