Arms wide open Quote by Eric Nickel
“Love sits to my left, crying, broken, lost. Fear sits beside her, smiling, whispering, lying. As Hope wanders up, Circumstance rushes in, screaming, driving her away. Fate sits to my right, laughing, feeding off of my pain. Passion and Joy lay at my feet, cold, lifeless. Destiny approaches, arms wide open, a sad look in her eye.”
