“Kairos is pregnant time, the time of possibility – moments in our day, our week, our month, our year or our lifetime that define us. It is a crossroads. It has the ripe opportunity to make you bitter or better. It is a teachable moment. It is the right or opportune moment. Kairos is rarely neutral and always leaves an impact on us.”
“In Greek mythology, both Chronos and Kairos are portrayed with wings (i.e. “time flies”) and are often shown with long hair growing out of their faces but with no hair on the tops or backs of their heads. If they are coming your direction, you have the opportunity to grab them by the hair as they approach, but once they have passed you, you may reach out for them but will be unable to grasp them. A disturbing image, but one that is striking and clarifying.”
