Sarah Price "Kairos"

“…time as kairos is an unrepeatable moment when events of great significance come to be gathered in the life of an individual or a people. To experience oneself simultaneously in a situation of chora [time as the repetitive ticking of the clock] and a moment of kairos is truly to encounter wonder,” (Lane, 41). The idea of kairos and chora coming together is so cool. It makes me think of the Bob Dylan concert I went to when I was fifteen. My brother, my best friend, and I were on the field of this baseball stadium in Maryland witnessing the legendary Bob Dylan. Hippies and the potent stench of marijuana surrounded us. It was an experience unlike any other. Just as he began playing “All Along the Watchtower,” it began pouring down rain. I looked around me and felt an overwhelming connection to all the people there, Mr. Dylan included. We were all experiencing this magic moment together that would never be repeated.
