In the midst of Christmastide, may we all take note of the joy and beauty in the small moments of life. May we appreciate taste, smell, all the foods around us. May we know the warmth of sharing from whatever abundance we have. May whatever lights us up from the inside come forth. For today, the fourth day of Christmas, I invite you to watch the movie “Soul,” which brightens any spirit and inspires joy.

Even if you are not a jazz aficiaonado, the music delights as does the message for each soul and the spark that enlivens us.
