Hejinian 24: "Chronos and kairos together--measured time and the time of occasions--are conceptually distinct, but they are not as conclusively separate from each other as [a] brief characterization of them might suggest. As coexisting temporal scales--one attuned to individual moments, the other recognizing long-term and repeated patterns in human life--they are simultaneous temporalities, mutually inclusive, reciprocally presupposing each other. Kairotic time provides chronological time with a capacity for dynamism and a high degree of vibrancy. Chronological time lends to events the capacity to take on magnitiude, such that at least some experiences and, perhaps more importantly, many trivialities are experienced not as fleeting local particularities but as elements in a large-scale pervasive pattern whose fundamenetal condition suggests that of permanence. In conjunction with kairotic time, chronological time can be mapped, shaped, and linear time can be reconstellated, though it is never fully overturned."
