+| [God is love][], they say, but there [is][]
+| no god.  Therefore, how can there be love?
+| And if there is no love, how can there be God?
+| There are things in life, I suppose,
+| that are simply unanswerable mysteries
+| of existence.  Maybe this God and love are one.
+
+| Maybe there are many loves, instead of one.
+| The difference between [what isn't][] and what is
+| could merely be one of scope.  The mystery
+| is how we speak only of one love---
+| to act as though we know we are supposed
+| to love only one other, or that one other and God.
+
+| But supposing that one other is God?
+| What then?  Is the God-lover to walk alone,
+| supported by God only when He feels He is supposed
+| to support her?  What kind of love is
+| this?  I would argue in fact this isn't love,
+| this [one-set-of-footprints-in-the-sand][] mystery.
+
+| How to define two loves as one is the mystery.
+| It's obvious to many there is a thing called God,
+| and just as obvious that there is one called love.
+| Maybe we fool ourselves, we who can't be alone;
+| maybe we don't know what either God or love is.
+| Maybe, and perhaps; but I for one propose
+
+| that we as only humans are not supposed
+| to know or understand capital-L Life, that mystery.
+| Isn't it enough to know that God is
+| love, and love is God,
+| no matter which one
+| does or does not exist?  What is life, if no love,
+
+| if no God?  [Maybe][Maybe1] this saying, "God is love,"
+| is less a definition of God what what love is supposed
+| to be.  Of these two terms, [maybe2][] the one
+| we should capitalize is Love, that great mystery
+| of chemistry and longing.  Maybe "Love is god"
+| is a more fitting [epigraph][] for what life is
+
+| [made of:][made of] Love, that most delicate, most misty
+| of all emotions, is supposed to be their god,
+| as the one that binds us, that was, that will be, that is.
