lost arts

These are some lost arts in the arranging of our time. We have lost the art of the spiritual direction of our schedules--there are no 'divine hours' anymore. We have lost the art of scheduling as an act of worship--we do not arrange schedules that serve God. Few of us even arrange schedules that serve us well. We have lost the art of discerning kronos from kairos. We have lost the art of living from vocation--we live at the mercy of impulse. We have lost the art of being present in the moment--we are always in the next place or the past place. We have lost the art of understanding the proper place for efficiency--creativity is very inefficient.
