  I attended Dartmouth commencement today. It was the finale of my 50th reunion weekend. Listen to Yo Yo Ma's address and then his playing "Song of the Birds." If neither fails to move you...

  Wow. Wonderful production and address. Congratulations Class of 2019. Use your power to benefit humanity first....what a great message amongst many given by Yo-Yo Ma. I’m so glad I watched this.  It filled me with hope & renewed determination to use my talents, abilities & voice...my power....to bring good things into the world, for the mutual benefit of all. Yo-Yo Ma is right when he says the Arts transcend culture. I find that delightfully true in my use of music in classrooms worldwide. “We’re more alike than different” is what makes it so easy to work immediately with others, on anything, Arts or otherwise.  We all want the world to be a safe, beautiful and cooperative place, and we need to use whatever talent and power we have to benefit the world. Though it’s been a few yrs. since I graduated from a University😆I feel renewed by this address, and ready to use my power (such as it is) to continue to aide humanity and education.  Thank you for sharing this beautiful message YYM & Dartmouth. Best wishes to all.✌🏼💁🏼🎶😊

  First you are a human, as such you have responsibility that you are prepared for. Do not abuse that power.

  @ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2xRUe4vLVs&amp;t=171">2:51</a> I dunno... I get the impression most would rather this be over. &nbsp;Sitting in the sun wearing black... If only we could create mind bubbles to see what each person is thinking... &nbsp;Even though this is a prestigious institution, as Americans there&apos;s a lack of decorum that&apos;s visible in say, an Oxford ceremony. &nbsp;American individualism!
