Class
of 2013,
May
your time here in Boston not have been in vain.
May
you never look back and call these the absolute best years of your life.
May
you never stop learning.
May
you find a career.
Barring
that, may you find work.
Barring
that, may you find peace in the
search.
May
you never be in want for loving friends nor quiet solitude.
May
you live the life to which God is calling you.
To
quote author Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am
I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to
be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world.”
Fellow
graduates, friends, family, colleagues, faculty, staff: You are, each of you, children of God. It is my most sincere prayer that you go
forward from this place and be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous.
To be shamelessly trite, may you… Be You.
Amen.
