Tai and I recently enjoyed A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood in which Tom Hanks does an extraordinary job playing Fred Rogers. One of the scenes that particularly struck Tai was of Mr Rogers praying. His manner of prayer was exactly the one I was taught at Sunday School in 1963. One kneels beside the bed, clasps hands together, closes the eyes, and remembers by name and with affection each and every person you have ever met. By doing so you are keeping alive and vital all the connexions of spirit you have ever made. The sum total of these connexions is what we call Soul, something that nowadays is entirely neglected.
