Thanks for posting this, CEK.  I had not planned to log in and post, but I well remember how excited I was when I first read Madeleine L'Engle's "A Circle of Quiet", and I first understood the magic and wonder of "kairos."   For some reason, I have been thinking a lot about kairos the past several weeks. It was when I read "A Circle of Quiet" that it dawned on me that when we are in kairos, time seems to stand still.  And when we step into chronos  from kairos, it feels as if we have stepped from a real world into an unreal, jarring world.  I have experienced this a lot as an adult. Children at play know all about kairos, and I cannot help but wonder if this may not be a reason that they sometimes get so upset when playtime is over.  Preparing for the holidays can be in kairos or chronos.  Our society values chronos above kairos. Witness the billion dollar market in time management products that focus on getting a lot done everyday, often at the expense of those who mean the most to us.  The first shock I had in teaching was this: it was not that teenagers didn't want to talk with anyone over 30, it was that adults who are very busy earning a living or grading papers or preparing lessons or cleaning a house, do not make the time necessary for kairos to happen with their children, their students.  And I believe that our sisterhood experiences kairos on this message board.  And I agree with Derek.  Thinking about kairos led me to realize that all people are artists.  But not everyone was enchanted with this revelation which I loved sharing with people. I remember having a conversation with a home economics teacher about this.  I was so excited to tell her that her mixing and kneading and putting the bread into the oven was just as much an artistic creation as my music.  She looked at me as if I were insane.   

 

 Wise words, KOS.  ​
 

KOS!!!!  I have sooooo missed you and your wise words on here   I am so glad you posted and I love your take on this ......and this was a very thoughtful post by Derek too   hope you post again soon ((((hugs))))

That is beautiful. April. And View, well said. April, I'm glad that your daughter felt well for Christmas. Tell her I said "hi".

In the few minutes of quiet I have today before my day takes off at 90 mph, I want to wish all of the sisters who celebrate (and those who don't) a Merry Christmas. My Christmas Eve will be hectic. We have to finish up everything here than drive down to my parents' house for Mass. We've been asked to get there early to save seats for everyone. (And anyone who's met us know that asking us to get anywhere early is a bad idea.) Then there's a party with lots of cousins and friends, and Santa comes and gives each kid one present. Then we drive back home to await Santa's visit at our house. Tomorrow we are just hanging out at home, though.

Gabriele, my prize arrived. Thank you so much! And April, you will get a huge kick out of this: My daughter's boyfriend gave her an R2D2 screwdriver as part of her present.

Ok, off to the races. Merry Christmas!

LOL......OMG.....that is so cute  that he gave her an R2D2 screwdriver!!!!....LOL.....here's a video of R2D2 dancing to Michael Jackson songs for them
