Smith College Commencement Speech of 2013

Wow, I just found this on the internet. It's filled with some convoluted secular terms for some very common spiritual insights--but I found this speech reassuring. I graduated Smith College in 1997, when this was NOT the theme of my commencement speech. It's nice to feel like I can go back for reunion now and say "I'm living a life in the third metric." It does trip off the tongue as nicely as "I'm living a life of prayer and peace"--but oddball alumnae like me can't be too picky.
