For me, CPE was one simple thing- a boat in a big ocean. This image was in my mind when I entered a room of an elderly woman who was immensely proud to be a sailor for the US Navy. She was struggling with loneliness at the hospital, and I had a beautiful conversation with her. I planned to chat for five minutes, and I ended up spending almost fifty minutes with her because she felt so lonely.
I learned from this conversation that I was a sailor, and she was the ocean. At that moment, I realized that every patient is an ocean because every word, every sentence, every tear of pain, or every smile of joy are different waves that touch and lead the boat of my spirituality.
