Abstract

There is a relationship between caring and peace in our personal lives and in the world. Light and ritual are metaphors and symbols for nursing to imagine another way, beyond the modern, of how things can be. It is ritual and light that can create a path to reconnect nursing with its past-presentfuture. If any image runs through the history of nursing, it is the light of Nightingale’s lamp, radiating the meaning of the nursing light and energy to the world.
