In this issue, the writers, drawn from many medical practices and perspectives, speak of a work that moves in two directions, toward the patient and toward oneself. Their accounts follow the moment when skill no longer answers, when a silence of attention must appear between thought and act. Here, the effort to heal reveals another order of meaning: that the measure of care lies not only in what is done, but in the presence that does it. To heal is to meet another life with attention. Between action and understanding, there is a finer possibility, to be awake within one’s work.
