In a set of states of energy, transactional data stores time.
In a single moment when the one whose life you never knew would slowly and steadily move you off a path you had trained to walk from birth, whose dreams, whose visions turned your solo taichi self-defense moves into smooth dance moves with a partner, a moment so clear you’ll remember the star pattern overhead, the planes flying landing patterns nearby, the smell of the asphalt road you stood on, her eyes in the near darkness when she looked straight at you, twinkling from the reflection of a street light…
Her joke about a scene in Star Wars, “I find your lack of faith disturbing,” in relation to others not clearly seeing her vision.
Is it that moment when you know?
It is.
Love is caring about a shared vision greater than yourself.
