Tea Time for me as well becomes my kairos ritual — there is a lot of waiting in Kronos time: waiting for the kettle to boil, waiting for the tea to steep, waiting for the tea to cool enough to be sipped. And all those waits give me back my mind (and time) and I think this is why it feels so much like a time slowing ritual. I can’t be hurried about it.

Oh, I just LOVE the thought that 'waiting' is something that belongs in the world of Kronos, not Kairos. Thank you for reading and sharing, Sarah!
