Hi, Pino,

Like others, above, I want love to "show up" rather than "turn up," because if it has enough volition to leave, it must have enough to appear by its own decision, and not just to be found because someone's looking.

About "lead it" versus "live it," my thoughts are more complicated. The version with "feed" and "lead" is much more interesting to me. "Feeding" is a much clearer image, rather metaphorical, so I want you to be able to keep that. And while "lead" may not feel like the most expected usage, it doesn't feel completely off to me; it recalls other idiomatic uses (as others have said); and it's almost a second metaphor--the life is being strung along.

Confusing matters as usual,
Maryann
