Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

22[God is love][], they say, but there [is][] \
23no god. Therefore, how can there be love? \
24And if there is no love, how can there be God? \
25There are things in life, I suppose, \
26that are simply unanswerable mysteries \
27of existence. Maybe this God and love are one.
28
29Maybe there are many loves, instead of one. \
30The difference between [what isn't][] and what is \
31could merely be one of scope. The mystery \
32is how we speak only of one love--- \
33to act as though we know we are supposed \
34to love only one other, or that one other and God.
35
36But supposing that one other is God? \
37What then? Is the God-lover to walk alone, \
38supported by God only when He feels He is supposed \
39to support her? What kind of love is \
40this? I would argue in fact this isn't love, \
41this [one-set-of-footprints-in-the-sand][] mystery.
42
43How to define two loves as one is the mystery. \
44It's obvious to many there is a thing called God, \
45and just as obvious that there is one called love. \
46Maybe we fool ourselves, we who can't be alone; \
47maybe we don't know what either God or love is. \
48Maybe, and perhaps; but I for one propose
49
50that we as only humans are not supposed \
51to know or understand capital-L Life, that mystery. \
52Isn't it enough to know that God is \
53love, and love is God, \
54no matter which one \
55does or does not exist? What is life, if no love,
56
57if no God? [Maybe][Maybe1] this saying, "God is love," \
58is less a definition of God what what love is supposed \
59to be. Of these two terms, [maybe2][] the one \
60we should capitalize is Love, that great mystery \
61of chemistry and longing. Maybe "Love is god" \
62is a more fitting [epigraph][] for what life is
63
64[made of:][made of] Love, that most delicate, most misty \
65
66of all emotions, is supposed to be their god, \
67as the one that binds us, that was, that will be, that is.
