of outer basic energetic work; it has yet to cultivate the language and
actions that reflect the next evolution and mature Caritas Nursing,
which reflects the subtle energetic field of Caritas. Yet this subtle evo-
lutionary practice of nursing may be the hope for nursing’s authentic
survival; this level of nursing is a very different quality of nursing from
that commonly known in the twentieth century. The evolved Caritas
Nurse turns to “things of spirit” as well as material form.
When nursing individually and collectively engages in caring and
healing practices at this higher-deeper, subtle but powerful vibratory
level, we will turn to words and actions that vibrate at a higher level—
words and actions that nurture Spirit and the human soul of our work.
We turn to, for example:
Beauty
Silence
Nature—other living things
Arts
Music-Sound
Relationships
Personal Story—literature-drama-film-narratives
Movement-Dance
Prayer
Meditation
Mystery—metaphors
Miracles
Infinity of Universal Love—opening to Miracles
Grace and Mercy of life and all its gifts
God
