5. In Time

What is Time?

The ancient Greeks had two words for it:

1. Chronos, chronological time. Linear, measurable. Quantitative by nature.

2. Kairos, lived time. Subjective and qualitative.

The time that flies… or stands completely still. The time that swallows you whole. Flow. Or better yet, the kind of time that disappears, until only being remains.

“Time flies.” That phrase reveals the gap between experienced time and clock time. Because the clock ticks on, one second per second.

But as the years pass (Chronos), time (Kairos) seems to accelerate. Is it aging, with fewer new impressions, or the ever-faster, overstimulated world swallowing us whole?

“My mission is to touch the soul, and I won’t settle for less.”
