The Knight in Rusty Armor

Writers Villain2 months ago3 months ago03 mins

The Knight in Rusty Armor is a book that narrates a personal journey of self-discovery through a path filled with castles and mountains, leading a Knight towards an encounter with himself. It speaks of the armor as that fortified place, full of fear, where we hide to feel safe, and emphasizes the importance of accepting vulnerability in order to access the courage that leads to truth. It is an invitation to understand that we all have the tools to free ourselves from that armor if we embark on that inward journey beyond rigid structures.
