Comforting Thought: Life On a Low Flame

Comforting Thought: Life On a Low Flame

One can live at a low flame.

Most people do.

For some, life is an exercise in moderation

The best china saved for special occasions

But given something like death

What does it matter if one looks foolish now and then

Or tries too hard, or cares too deeply?
