What a mesmerising address. She was  someone who tapped into the truths about the human experience.. A sage with immense wisdom.

Brilliant that the college chose Anais Nin as guest speaker.    Lucky are those students.   Notice she was never reading from notes.    It all came from her head and her heart.    I was reading her memoirs about this time.    Nothing like them.

This speech has inspired a total life redirection and led to my current transformation. 🌹"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." 🌹 Rest In Paradise Anaïs Nin 💜

This woman was so unbelievably ahead of her time, it's mind blowing! What a privilege it was for these students to have such an  amazing woman make a speech at their graduation.

Thank you for everything

this was an early summer day in Western Massachusetts in 1972 and despite a number of wanderings and walk offs I am impressed by how many people were listening (rapt). based on a few of the faces I'm convinced some of those people were having a bad acid trip. lol Good for them! ;)

Thank you so so much

How much we need to hear this now as then, change comes so slowly. This is brilliant.

To have heard one of the greatest writers in the world speak. One of the last great individuals. Henry Miller is also one. There is nobody in my generation like this - so perhaps I will have to become this person.

Hi, this is Virginia Lee, one of the fellows who graduated in 1972.  Love the video of our commencement.  Can you contact me?

...the speaker sings the hymn of the present time...2020...it is the perrenial fruit of living creative being...the speaker KNOWS of what IS....never early nor too late...so we all arrive ON time...

The darn transcript doesn't work     I know some of her words were CC incorrect.

'an unhappy man is a danger to the collective"  - you mean the kind of guy who is smug and contemptuous - promoting distrust and estrangement between people?
