Sustaining beliefs

As an atheist, I often wonder, what is the sustaining belief that is left to me?

Higher power? No.

Basic goodness of humankind? No.

Love? Yes.

So, that's the answer. I spent yesterday in the company of friends. It was wonderful. Shared my ice cream cone with the most delightful almost-three-year-old. Listened to music. Went out to dinner. It was magical.

Love.
I wonder if it is going to be enough to get me through this.
