To be commanded to love God at all, let alone in the wilderness, is like being commanded to be well when we are sick, to sing for joy when we are dying of thirst, to run when our legs are broken. But this is the first and great commandment nonetheless. Even in the wilderness - especially in the wilderness - you shall love him.
The 'commandment' of love is only possible because it is more than a requirement. Love can be 'commanded' because it has first been given.
Science knows only one commandment - contribute to science.
