"If the sun refuses to shine, I'd still be loving you; when mountains crumble into the sea, there would still be you and me."  These beautiful words come from Led Zeppelin's song, "Thank You."  As our world continues on its merry way, as we and our lives continue marching across the rims of space and time, as destiny continues to weave itself into every corner of our humanness, we look at each other, we look at those whom we love, and we marvel:  how could such things be?  How, when we are acutely aware of our finitude and the stark limits of our planet's ability to sustain itself, do we manage to cling to love, that magical force, fact, and feeling that courses through all parts of the cosmos?
     Because we know, know in the deepest recesses of our hearts, that when all is said and done, when the sun stops shining and the mountains topple into the most distant sea, love, in all its expressions and manifestations, will be all that remains.
    God is forever.
