Time — A Reflection
Time is both fleeting and dragging slowly
What is time?
Is it Chronos or Kairos time?
Is it linear (Chronos) or divine (Kairos)?
Time passes
But we don’t embrace the present moment
When we slow down and simply Be Still
Time takes on a sacred and holy meaning
As my dear friend and Abbess Christine Valters Paintner writes in her soon to be released book, Sacred Time: Embracing an Intentional Way of Life:
In sacred time, we step out of the madness of our lives and choose to reflect, linger, savor, and slow down. We gain new perspective here. (p. xi)
In the midst of this season of waiting and warchong
In the midst of the insanity of rampant consumerism
In the midst of it all
Lord, help us to step out of the madness
Help us to simply seek you in the silence
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer…
