A personal journal of caring through esthetic knowing.
In this article the author, through a process of contemplation, sought to put into words the inner feelings and experiences of caring depicted in six works of art. The questions the author explored were, Is the language of caring present in all environments? Are there similarities or dissimilarities? Evidence of caring was found in all the paintings, some of which were painted during the Holocaust. The paintings and the journaling process are described.
