In the great silence, integrity listens for the true course … Integrity helps us find our place in the world. This is its durability; its irreducibility, its affinity with the stones that make up the earth’s mantle. Integrity stands on the primal matter that we found through suffering. And because of its affinity with the stuff of the earth, it links us to our grandparents, the ones who are in the earth, and our grandchildren yet to come, whom the earth will produce like flowers.
