At a recent graduation ceremony, a raiser recalled the
words of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. when he delivered the 1964 Nobel Lecture to
describe her feelings that day:
"Occasionally in life there
are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely
explained by those symbols called words. Their meaning can only be articulated
by the inaudible language of the heart."
