Ready

Integrity challenges the status quo ~
Yet status quo is so comfortable!
Like favourite sloppy old slippers 
Soft and warm
Kept under the bed

Integrity challenges the status quo
Standing ready in sensible shoes
Always out of style yet
Polished and unapologetic
Kept ready at the door.

Integrity challenges the status quo
Well worn and worn well
Becomes a principled norm
Never completely comfortable
Always ready to step from the heart.

“I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions.”
~ Lillian Hellman
