No matter how long we have known each other, we can still create novel moments together. All we have to do is pay attention. When we pay attention, we can notice that every and any moment of the shortest and of the longest relationships is already unique. Indeed, literally every moment of life is unique. But paying attention to each moment can be a challenge, and we may tell ourselves that nothing is new with this next first date or this long and familiar marriage or this great heartache. We may conflate our capacity to learn from past situations with a completely static and immutable future. What can you notice right now about this moment in one of your relationships that is unlike any other moment you've had?
