We are collectively going through a time of complete transformation: kairos, a turning moment. To the Greeks, kairos referred to the sacred and vital nature of time, a choice point in which we must seize the opportunity as it arises. We are faced with kairos now: the gifts-as well as necessity- of being able to turn around some of the desecration of our sacred earth. We have the potential to shift from a culture of competition and marketing-driven hunger to a culture of sustainability and cooperation. The earth requires our awakening and compassionate action for a furture to be possible.
