Acknowledging the significance of love, compassion, empathy, cherished memories, and the little joys in life, like the rhythmic tapping of a woodpecker or the blossoming flowers that adorn the resting place of a beloved pet, and a lifetime of intimacy, all hold far greater value than any material or financial inheritance. But also recognizing that love can triumph over stubborn pride, anger, or egos that impede our growth and kindness.

Wise words, indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Regarding Graduation speeches, I absolutely love Neil Gaiman's 2012 speech at the University of the Arts in London, where he advises the graduating class to "Make Good Art."
