They say that with age comes wisdom. There are times when we need to look to those who came before us, in order to discover what we need to do to secure our future. We often come face to face with that wisdom, and it can be an unpleasant experience when we are learning, growing and in the wrong. Please enjoy this short excerpt from my book, "Khizara" available October 1, 2020. I know that you're going to love it!
Book Excerpt
Khizara
The older man burst into a short, static laugh. “You give yourself far too much credit. No one is altruistic. Not even you. Your eyes are not meeting mine. Are you afraid I’ll see the ambition behind them?” He walked the short distance to the young visitor. When they stood inches apart, he reached up to trace the outline of a scar on the younger man’s face. It ran the length of his face from just beneath his left eye arcing toward his mouth and ending at his jaw “When you’re as old as I am, that scar and others will disappear behind the folds of age, but the memory of it will never leave you. The memory of the perils you’ve faced will never leave those who care for you. I care for you. Understand, and always know that. If you fail, the failure is only for now. Circumstances will present themselves again even without you. Think about what is necessary and what is simply expedient.”
