A warm and wise letter written by Kurt Vonnegut in 2006 in response to one received from a class – and its teacher Miss Lockwood – at Xavier High School. It gives nuannaarpoqian advice to young minds (and to Miss Lockwood), and is here read out charmingly by the actor Ian McKellan. Enjoy the reading and then go and do whatever you need to make your soul grow.  

Which may include dancing, as mentioned by Vonnegut.  You may also like Zorba’s musings on soul-growing.
