Integrity

Integrity

I believe for me the word integrity encapsulates the one thing that is truly our own to honour or abuse.

Our integrity.

No one can take away your integrity. It can't be stolen from you; only you can give it away, sell it, discard it,

or continue to live your life immersed in the peace and freedom that is its gift to those who stay true.

Its not about right and wrong but about standing by your truth and allowing others to stand by theirs.

And its not easy in a world that is programmed to take the path of least resistance.

But in the end

it is all you have that is yours to own.

It is your core, it is you.

To deny it is to deny yourself and hide behind someone elses truth.

Who are you now?

And so when I die and all earthly matter falls away I will not be left with nothing. I will have who I was, am and always will be;

at peace in my integrity.
