Rather than a ferryman taking a family across the water to another land, Palin's card shows a family skating away from the dangers of broken ice (even leaving behind some of their belongings). We often work hard to find solutions to problems or see a situation with clarity, but when we finally do, it can sometimes be hard to leave what is familiar for the unknown. Yet Integrity appears and adds another layer to honesty, asking us to back up what we say we believe and know with action. Pleasing or impressing others has no place here, nor is procrastination useful.
Day by day, your choices, your thoughts, your actions fashion the person you become. Your integrity determines your destiny. ― Heraclitus
