a commencement speech

Something I have thought about a lot lately:
divided attention in a hyper-linked life,
and what draws us into an experience,  precise vs. better memories
intimate impressions, deep and changing feelings that require presence and room,
the human effort to hold onto an experience
in the words of Jonathan Safran Foer
