News stations have recently begun broadcasting sound bites from politicians, celebrities and those famously submersed in academia that are willing to dispense encouragement, advice and all other manners of wisdom to the accomplished.
Commencement speeches have the ability to influence thought and action. These orations can deeply impact the cap and gown audience but repercussions do not stop with the diploma wielders.
Years ago, a gift of grace was delivered in the form of an audio file. (You know who you are and gratitude is endless for this and so much more!) Although it isn't exactly a commencement address, most of us thought it was. Perception creates the reality but nevertheless, it's simple, elegant and says something to all who have ears to hear.
