Suppress your love
Suppress desire
Compress a life
Till life expires
Hold your breath
In pinched denial
Complexity
Live in awe
Love your life
It’s yours to live
Regret forgive
Make more mistakes
Regret forgive
Accept everything
‘Bitter Virtue’, James
unquiet fabrications and offerings 
Beautiful poem expressing an offering of choice in how we choose to live. Although I love the first half for its poetic eloquence, I’d far rather choose the second 🙂
Me too! But I think that I bounce between the two, and probably spend more time living the former way. Maybe that’s like a lot of people? Living effortlessly sounds effortless, but it’s actually really hard work!
