Dr. Mowbray no longer feels that he is a healer, but instead believes that he carries death with him. Mr. Baker, dying in the hospital, dreams of being surrounded by the beauty of nature—a bamboo forest, the Sahara Desert, a sunny glade. Watching over the old man, Dr. Mowbray begins to see the lush world of Mr. Baker’s dreams and wonders how he can learn to truly understand life when he is always surrounded by death.
