One Night Two Souls Went Walking by Ellen Cooney
4.0
The narrator, a hospital chaplain, discusses her work. She is a witness to the difficult nights of the injured, sick, and dying. It is hard, satisfying, meaningful, mysterious work.
I feel like I just woke up out of someone else’s dream. The story had a very... mushy quality to it. Memory twined with the here-and-now, wrapped around a few out-of-body experiences, all kind of squashed like different colors of play-doh that are just beginning to blend together. There are elements of deep appreciation for everyday events, a reverence for lives lived and passing, and a mild unconformity.
A quiet, but firm story.
