The Greek word for the deepest, most meaningful experience of time is xairos. Xairos is what we experience in fleeting moments of our lives, never to be re-created, save in memories. Xairos is what a young man feels, as he stands at the head of a church aisle, and awaits his beaming bride. Xairos is the way the clock on the hospital delivery-room wall seems to stand still, as a new mother and father eagerly wait to see if it’s a boy or a girl.
