Abstract
In this allegorical revisiting of the Christian story of Peter, James, and John giving a beggar not what he requested but what they discerned that he needed, I frame a window of vocational commitment. Through this window I invite the reader to view the landscape of an apparently insurmountable gap between a therapy companion’s desire and my best gifts.
