Because of the narrative through a recombinant beam position reading, processing and reconstruction of life, this article that I can live in care of spirituality, the narrative method of writing as a spindle. To complete a caring and re-emerged in the meaning of life twist and purification, and thus the study and writing poetry as a way to connect the process. Hermeneutics in order to complete the application. The application of spiritual studies in contemporary Eastern and Western Philosophies should be one of the important examinations. When Martin Heidegger writes Being and Time, he emphasizes clearly the Dasein's Beings as care. He thinks that we may approach the perspective of Being by passing through our grasp on anxiety and lost of certainty of phenomenon. We may obtain the grasp about the wholeness of Being. And when we grasp this way, we will also obtain the certification about this grasping. In the paper, we will interpret the concet of narrative and time from the thoughts of French writer Paul Ricoeur. Through his Time and Narrative, we will lead the focus toward our interpretation about the spiritual care. We will interpret the narrative discourse as the main core of our method. Through the new combination of temporality, we get the new order of time-from present interpreting toward both the past and the future. And then through our affected memory, we approach to the poetic narrative by using mimesis. And through this process, we obtain the meaning through duration. The narrative purifies the meaning. The whole event will be changed to be new possible interpretation. Through the context of our paper, we wish to say that human beings' memory may approach the new meaning. Through reading in poetic narrative and mimesis, we practice our purification . So the poetic narrative is also the key of spiritual care. It is the poetics in time narrating
