If God is,
than God is so much greater
than anything we've been taught
or can possibly imagine.

If God is
then we live in a universe
conquered by love.

If God is,
then (what relief!)
we can cease our striving
to convert, to persuade, to change, to save–
it is finished.

If God is,
then all is well,
all are already within.

The thought of any without
is blasphemy,
a denial of
the
single,

great,

Is.
