Abstract

In the fall of 2017 as a chaplain intern working in a hospital setting, I started reading poems to patients and families with the hope that language could offer a buffer to suffering, a meditative space to slow down time and hear the comforting sound of language. This article contains stories of the power of poetry to nourish, nurture and connect with individuals facing darkness, doubt and vulnerability.

摘要

2017 年秋，作为一名在医院工作的实习牧师，我开始为患者及其家属朗读诗歌，希望语言能成为痛苦的缓冲，能提供一个冥想的空间，让时间慢下来，让人们听到语言带来的安慰。本文讲述了诗歌的力量，它能滋养、培育和联系那些身处黑暗、疑虑和脆弱中的个体。
