From a relatively early age, my utter disgust with the tyranny of the clock most definitely was a blessing in disguise. Because it was one of the prime factors that caused me to reject what the world had to offer and begin my search for a solution -- in God.
Thank you for this comment. Your story demonstrates that cultural "details"—such as how we interact with the passage of time, or how we decorate our prayer books, or how we plow our fields—can in fact be powerful elements in our quest for a more fulfilling and virtuous life. And that's why I think it is worth my while to write about them.
well said. perhaps we should re-read the theologian Johann Baptist Metz on the the concept of dangerous memories as the proper response of modernities notion of evolutionary empty time.

Glad we're spending more time with time. You've made many insightful and interesting points. Looking forward to more.
