In landscapes of the
sacred by Belden Lane, the author describes time and it’s different ways of
being perceived. Explaining the two Lane says, “[t]ime as chromos is perceived
as the repetitive ticking of the clock, every second precisely equals to the
next. But 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”
(41). Lanes definition separates genuine time and time that is used for no
purpose. The clock of life ticks on and on, so it is important to spend time on
memories you wish to remember. Without memories life is just a blank slate
waiting to be filled with emotion and feelings.
