(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) There is a certain aliveness that comes when we speak honestly in a

vulnerable, yet clear communication. It aligns us with our truth and we

become authentic and wisely powerful. But it's often not easy to do that.

I've based this talk on my son Adam's final thesis from Naropa University

where he recently graduated with a B.A. in somatic and contemplative

psychology. I was quite impressed and moved by it. It made me think. I

wanted to share it as we explore Wise Speech together.
