Trapped in a deep dark tunnel. It was damp and isolated from the rest of the world. I could hear noises from time to time but never could see anything. Then all of a sudden I feel a surge of liquid and down I fall, what felt like a water slide or flume ride, it felt like an eternity as I fell.
Then just as quickly I stop, I see a sliver of light, like the morning sun peaking between shut curtains. Next thing I know I'm in a bright room with a half dozen people in masks, poking and prodding me. Eventually, after these alien like probes I was placed in a glass pan with wearing a silly hat and a name tag.

Koine Greek had three words to describe time: aion, chronos and kairos.
Aion is the everlasting eternity of the cosmos.
Chronos is the endless, relentless march of time. Quantitative measurement of the clock.
Kairos is the right time, the special moment. It’s the qualitative value of a season.
“Every kairos is a chronos,
but not every chronos is a kairos.” — Hipporates
Today we live in chronological world, and the concept of kairos is all but lost. Seconds lead to minutes, to days, weeks and years. Time stops for no one, time is money, save time, but don’t waste your time. Chronos is constantly ticking. We can’t slow or stop it, and once it’s lost you can’t get it back
We have no equivalent word in the English language, but kairos is the notion of an appropriate time. Something is about to happen; there is an opportunity to be seized, and what we decide will affect our future. Call it the moment of truth, or carpe diem. Kairos describes the moment when the time is ripe to take destiny into our hands.
Ecclesiastes:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted…”
When the Greeks first translated the Bible from Hebrew, they expressed every reference to time in the above passage as kairos, not chronos.
When we ask, “What time is it?” the answer is expressed in chronological terms.
But when we ask, “What is it time for?” the answer is the meaning of kairos.
When we look back, do we want to mark how long we endured?
We etch the enduring memories in our consciousness, when we were the right person, at the right time, in the right place, for such a time as that kairos moment.
