"Love seems paramount to me. Seeing through the world, explaining it, despising it may be crucial to great thinkers. But all I care about is to be able to love the world, not to despise it, not to hate it or myself, to be able to view it and myself and all beings with love and admiration and awe." -- Hermann Hesse, Siddartha

love is the only every god

I don't talk about god much anymore, and I don't really talk to god much anymore either.  And sometimes it bothers me.  Sometimes I feel like maybe I should?  And maybe I should.  But I do think about love a lot, and I wonder if that counts.  God is love, right?  Does he care that I think more about how best to love rather than how best to please him or serve him or praise him?  Are they different?  Jesus said all the commandments were summed up in loving god and loving others and that whatever we do for the least of these we do for him, so is there even any difference between the two?  Is love, loving, active love, enough?  I don't really know, but I hope so, but if god really loves me as much as he says he does, then I think I'll be okay.
