Sitting around

I don't have much to say, but this quote got me thinking today. Einstein was a romantic at heart, so I sympathize with this idea.

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s Relativity.”

Albert Einstein

We learned about this thing called Kairos in one of the first theatre classes I took. This was the definition we were given:  Kairos  is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). Chronos refers to chronological or sequential time. Kairos signifies a time in between, a moment of indeterminate 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.

The time of sitting with a pretty girl should always be in Kairos, but of course it oftens falls with Chronos. But I love the idea that the special something is dependent on who is using the word. We have the power to make moment be in Kairos. We make our own opportune moment. We make our supreme moments. That's a power that Chronos can't push along. Think about that, okay?

Until later,
