"Taken for a ride" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on cardboard, 66 x 88 cm

If love has taken us for a ride and passion has let us ignore sham and swindle, the time has come to separate the wheat from the chaff and polish up diamonds of trust, neatly, day by day.

When the bonfire of love still smolders in the wake of emotional convulsions, seeds of regret and remorse may endlessly linger about on the path of life.

When scorching passion only leaves ashes of unfulfilled dreams, hope may entice the sprinkling magic of our imagination into livening up the footlights on a new stage of life.

When a river of tears and grief relentlessly flows from a mountain of broken trust, feelings may furtively overpower the stronghold of our physical presence.

At that point, sensibility might make a befitting alliance with our mental ratio so as to shore up confidence, resilience, and reliance.
