Integrity

I often notice it is the little things that touch me the deepest, that tell me the most about who someone is. The grand gestures are awesome and they certainly mean a great deal, but it is the short sentence in a thank you note that displays the soul of a man.

It is the unexpected hug and a few words whispered in a mother's ear that brings her world into focus. It is the big man apologizing for a mistake, the intelligent woman who listens intently.

Integrity often appears in the smallest of gestures, but like the flame of a single candle on the darkest night of the year, it makes all the difference in the world.
