I have this saying that I learned from dating in high school and college:
In love and anger, ‘never’ and ‘always’ mean ‘right now.’
When in love, there is a feeling of “I will always love you” and sometimes “I could never be with anyone else.”
Cuddled up to a lover, there is a feeling of “I never want to move.”
These remind me of the flow of action in probability spaces shaped by intentions (from Dynamics in Action). When I have an intention (to stay right here) and no intention of changing it, then that intention stretches out into forever.
It’s a great feeling, because the moment feels like eternity.
It doesn’t say anything about eternity or the rest of my life. It says something about the purity of my intentions right now.
