I’ve
been played. Like a fine-tuned
instrument in the hands of a master. In his latest project (you
cannot call what James L. Rubart does writing, anymore than you can call
what Michelangelo did sculpting, or what DaVinci did painting,
or what Beethoven did composing) James L. Rubart subtly
captured my interest, and then skillfully played upon my emotions and my
intellect. Until it was too late.
To
stop, that is. To stop experiencing
(one does not read James L. Rubart’s projects) the vision that is THE FIVE TIMES I MET MYSELF.
Who
doesn’t
have regrets over decisions made in the past? Who hasn’t entertained the idea, even
said the words, “If I only knew then what I know now .
. .”
Things
would be different. I’d have done things
differently. I would have chosen what’s
behind door number three.
Regret
is a huge idea that lingers in the background; it’s the outline of many of our
future decisions and determinations.
Sometimes it’s the foundation of many of our most intricately laid
plans, and most expansive endeavors.
(Sometimes, it may even spark one’s interest and cause one to write a
book about it.)
Brock
Matthews’ once promising life is unraveling.
His coffee company. His
marriage. So . . . when he discovers his
vivid dreams – where he meets his younger self – might actually let him change
his past mistakes, he jumps at the chance.
The results are astonishing – and disturbing. Because getting what Brock wants most in the
world will force him to give up the one thing he doesn’t know how to let go.
And
his greatest fear is that it’s already too late.
