To love another person is to see the face of God.

Something enormous is being located in an ordinary human face. When you love somebody properly you stop seeing a role or a set of uses and start seeing a whole separate interior that does not exist for your benefit. Believers call that glimpse divine, and anyone else can still recognise the shift, because it is the moment a person stops being scenery.

The practical form of it is attention. Look at one person this week as though you had not already decided who they are. Ask something you have never asked them, and stay for the whole answer.
