| A Teacher's Hand - Aragorn and Glorfindel |
| Discretion is the better part of valor. Glorfindel had taught him that, since he was old enough to lift a sword or draw a bow. A noble warrior knows when to pursue conflict and when it is better to walk away. Aragorn could hear his teacher’s words clearly although today they fell into a burning heart. Words spoken to harm can wound more deeply than blade or shaft. Remember, the tongue can be more dangerous a weapon than any forged from steel. “You’re just a man…” Clenching white-knuckled hands, he turned to the echoing of hurtful words and stalked away. |
