A Yellow Wood | Who Listens
MD Class
If we enter an autumn forest, we can be surrounded by a deeper level of beauty than can be appreciated from outside. Turning within can reveal a perspective that is otherwise hidden.
Who Listens
Amanda Caleb, PhD, MPH
Editor-in-Chief
In the morning he calls me Amanda.
Later, when this nickname is sucked into a black
hole within his brain,
present, but inaccessible,
he will call me the nice lady who listens.
I’ve come to love this new name,
one that embodies the two things he still
recognizes,
even if my face is something he cannot:
kindness
and someone to listen.
