Now is a time to speak.

This weekend I was asked to prepare *very* brief remarks to wrap up my perspective at the end of a conference. I decided to share it with everyone here, albeit only slightly expanded.

Namely: If the measurement of happiness is the delta between what I know my values to be, and how well I am able to live by them (and I do believe that) then I have a recipe to find some happiness even in times of great uncertainty and unhappiness.

I believe in listening. I believe in empathy. But there is a time to listen, and there is a time to speak.

Now is a time to speak.
