An excerpt from a book written by Charles O. Wing, “Old Ways, New Hope”
Isn’t it relaxing to spend your time sipping your drink of choice and reading a good book? There is a lot going on in today’s world. Things happen so quickly that we hardly notice them. Why don’t we give a little time, a little rest, a little date with ourselves, as much as we are willing to contribute time and energy to our work and relationships? After all, taking such a break is unquestionably helpful; we get to rest and learn.
The narrative of a freelance translator who is called on an archaeological quest because of a peculiar language is told in “Old Ways, New Hope” by Charles O. Wing. His travels take him all over the world, and after the loss of a close friend, he takes the lead in the search. He stumbles onto mankind’s greatest discovery, which takes him to the origins of man and a plethora of innovations. How he handles the discovery will lead him to new worlds and old ones. Then he has a variety of options for changing the world.
Here’s an excerpt from the book:
“I still don’t understand what was so important, that you had me come all this way.” “You will see.” he said, as he restarted the engine of his car. We drove back to Iraklion in silence. As we neared the city core, he slowed and pulled into a private drive of a large residence. “Grab your bag. We are home for now.” The house was built in the Greek or Roman style with an inner courtyard and he showed me to a room just off the courtyard. “Settle yourself in and then I will show you our find. The others are waiting.” About ten minutes later, I joined the others in the courtyard and was surprised to find myself with many of my peers. They were sharing a local wine and laughing among themselves. Before I could even sit down, they handed me a glass of the wine and still I had no idea of their find.”
