Jeff,

The one movie scene that never fails to have me blubbering like a nitwit is the speech of Marley’s ghost in this version of A Christmas Carol. (Fast forward to 5:12 if you like.)

This, too, is a reminder that we need voices — that we must seek them, that it’s our existential duty and our spiritual obligation to do so, that we are less than fully alive without them.

Thank you for your post. It’s yet another of your beautifully written testaments to our shared humanity.

Mark
