Take everything
except sanity, and then
expect surrender?

I'm typing with my head sideways, as this is not exactly an easy read, as it is so thought provoking.

And I just got lost in thought, musing on the definition of integrity, and if it's one of those cases of an abstract noun that is reliant on circumstances/personal perceptions of a witness to add or subtract values...and?

I'll shaddup.

I did note with interest too, that reading this acrostically, the first letters form "tee"--and it occurs to me that a tee is a beneficial aid when one wishes to hit a ball very far. I think integrity is a bit like that.

?

But I'll shaddup.

Enjoyed this very much.

Thank you, serenity blaze and faithmairee, for your kind comments on such a little thing as this.

The acrostic must've just slipped through... I have somewhat missed playing golf, or at least attempting to. It's such an angular game...

Pure sanity, unencumbered, allows deep awareness, I guess, and in surrendering to what is, there is wisdom and wisdom includes integrity ...

Thank you for this nice opportunity to ponder.

Love,
Margherita
