Time
I found this text to be very thought provoiking. I had to look up chronos and karios but once I did the meanings became clear. Chronos was easy enough to understand but karios took some time. When I found the passage "the appointed time in the purpose of God", then things started to make sense.
A higher perspective on time
"Be mindful of how you approach time. Watching the clock is not the same as watching the sun rise." -- Sophia Bedford-Pierce
What would your soul consider a waste of time? To a soul, the only real time is right NOW. Not the future or the past. It lives in connecting deeply with the rich experience of each moment. Through awareness we can be in touch with our authentic self and how it perceives all of the energies and guidance around and within us.
"Chronos is clocks, deadlines, watches, calendars, agendas, planners, schedules, beepers. Chronos is time at her worst. Chronos keeps track. Chronos is the world's time. Kairos is transcendence, infinity, reverence, joy, passion, love, the Sacred. Kairos is intimacy with the Real. Kairos is time at her best. Kairos is Spirit's time. We exist in chronos. We long for kairos. That's our duality. Chronos requires speed so that it won't be wasted. Kairos requires space so that it might be savored. We do in
chronos. In kairos we're allowed to be ... It takes only a moment to cross over from chronos into kairos, but it does take a moment.
All that kairos asks is our willingness to stop running long enough to hear the music of the spheres."
Sarah Ban Breathnach
"He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic
who waits for the river to run out before he crosses." – Horace
Build a new relationship with the time of your life. Experience
time from different perspectives. Discover how to do life rather than allow life to do you.

Chronos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Chronos (disambiguation).
In Greek mythology, Chronos (Χρόνος in Greek) in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. He emerged from the primordial Chaos. He is sometimes mythologically confused with the Titan Cronus (Κρόνος in Greek).
He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god. His name actually means "Time", and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek), Chronos, Chronus (Latin version; not to be confused with Cronus). Some of the current English words which show a tie to khronos/chronos and the attachment to time are chronology, chronic, and chronicle.
Chronos is usually portrayed through an old, wise man with a long, gray beard; an example of him portrayed in modern times would be as "Father Time".

Kairos
Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the "right or opportune moment". The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies "a time in between", a moment of undetermined period of time in which "something" special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.[1]
In rhetoric
Kairos was central to the Sophists, who stressed the rhetor's ability to adapt to and take advantage of changing, contingent circumstances. In Panathenaicus, Isocrates writes that educated people are those “who manage well the circumstances which they encounter day by day, and who possess a judgment which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise and rarely misses the expedient course of action”.
Kairos is also very important in Aristotle's scheme of rhetoric. Kairos is, for Aristotle, the time and space context in which the proof will be delivered. Kairos stands alongside other contextual elements of rhetoric: The Audience which is the psychological and emotional makeup of those who will receive the proof; and, To Prepon which is the style with which the orator clothes their proof.
Compare the use of kairos in rhetoric to the use of kairosis in literary aesthetics.
In theology
The term "kairos" is used in theology to describe the qualitative form of time. In rhetoric kairos is "a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved."[2] In the New Testament kairos means "the appointed time in the purpose of God", the time when God acts (e.g. Mark 1.15, the kairos is fulfilled). It differs from the more usual word for time which is chronos (kronos).
In the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, before the Divine Liturgy begins, the Deacon exclaims to the Priest, "Kairos tou poiesai to Kyrio" ("It is time [kairos] for the Lord to act"); indicating that the time of the Liturgy is an intersection with Eternity.
In The Interpretation of History, neo-orthodox Lutheran theologian Paul Tillich made prominent use of the term. For him, the kairoi are those crises in history (see Christian existentialism) which create an opportunity for, and indeed demand, an existential decision by the human subject - the coming of Christ being the prime example (compare Barth's use of geschichte as opposed to historie). In the Kairos Document, an example of liberation theology in South Africa under Apartheid, the term kairos is used to denote "the appointed time", "the crucial time" into which the document / text is spoken.
Retreats
Kairos is also a Christian retreat program for high school and college students in several US states. Here kairos is adapted to mean "God's time". These "Kairos Spiritual Retreats" began at the Jesuit Retreat House in Cleveland, Ohio,[3] which is affiliated with John Carroll University, and several Jesuit high schools, such as Marquette University High School, around the country. After several schools in Ohio adopted the tradition, non-Jesuit Catholic high schools throughout the United States, Australia, and Puerto Rico now take part in the intense retreat.

Trimming the tree at Jo's 2006
Kaylee was having such fun being a nakey baby! Then we found her the bows to play with since she wanted to undecorate the tree. Tinkerbell found the tree once we were all done. I don't know how I'll keep her out of our this year.
Dirt
I compost. I find that it's a either you do or either you don't kind of thing. I need to do something with the proliferous grass cuttings during the summer. Besides, we have tough, clay soil. It needs all the help it can get. During the summer the compost pile mounds almost chest high under the wide maple tree. It's now Thanksgiving Day and I moved the compost pile today onto the garden - such that it is - the flowers on the north side of the pole barn, and the flowers to be on the west side of the pole barn. By spring it will all be good, rich, dirt.
Cat in space
Tinkerbell, one of our cats is a lovey dovey cat. Some nights though she just wants attention - NOW! It's usually around 3 am. We have tried to teach her that she can sleep at our feet. That's not good enough for Tink. She wants right by our faces. I push her down, Ken pushes her down. She just sneeks back up. I've taken to pushing her off the bed when she doesn't listen and stay at our feet. This past week I pushed her off and she landed on Buster. Buster jumped up, Harley jumped up and there were three sets of paws scrinching across the hardwood floor - Tink in the lead, Harley a close second and Buster taking up the rear. It took about 15 minutes for them to settle down again.
You'd think she'd learn but nooooooooo, she was right back at it the next night. So off the foot of the bed she went - twice. By now I've had it! I want to s-l-e-e-p! Tink got in my face this time. So I pushed her off the side of the bed. Hey, I was NOT awake enough to think. We heard a delayed THUNK against the dresser. Ken woke up enough to say "Cats in space!" We both had the mental image of Tink - all four paws outstretched and flying though space. It was funny at 3 am. Tink was not hurt and she's getting the message - sleep at our feet or become "cats in space". (I keep hearing the duh duh duh duhhh in my head.)

beep! beep! BEEP!
When Katrina, Naomi and Brannon were small they liked to play a game they called "bug the adults."
First they would ask what time it was, then it was the temperature outside, then how long until we got where we we going, then how many cars were on the road, then they would argue about how long it would take to get there, then ....the list goes on and on and on until the adult was red in the face!
One car ride Ken told then they were pushing his buttons. One of them said "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
We all erupted in laughter. From then on when the adults would say "You're pushing my buttons", the kids' always answered "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! It was a good ice breaker for the tension at the moment. :)
