Intransigent Integrity

Won’t be talked out of what it knows, even without proof, even lacking words to describe or explain it, even without charts and graphs and images, or one tangible example. Knowing comes from the soul, not a spreadsheet. Knowing is soft and sacred, essentially intelligent, kind, courageous, tender-hearted truth. Knowing would never manipulate or deceive for profit. Knowing needs nothing from anyone, but every now and then, a friend comes along and says, “I know that, too!” and in that moment, there is joy and recognition and integrity.
