Observing the death of a dear friend, Leslie Verner reflects on chronos (clock time) versus kairos, moments that reveal what truly matters. She draws on Madeleine L’Engle’s Walking on Water, Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, George Eliot’s Middlemarch, When Breath Becomes Air, Sayings of the Desert Fathers, Jean-Charles Nault, Kathleen Norris, Saint Benedict, Evagrius, and the New Testament.
