Life Quote by Eric Nickel
“I, like many, am a Puzzle. Once assembled, A beautiful and profound vista. Millions of tiny pieces, some wonderful, others terrifying, make up this perplexing enigma. Many have tried to build this Puzzle, see me, understand me, and have, over time, grown frustrated, and walked away. I wave to them as they go, smiling. For I appreciate the effort, the attempt. Yet know, I myself, Have taken on this daunting task, and failed, for my Puzzle, is surely lacking many pieces. And without them, The beautiful image, is impossible to see.”
