Perhaps the metaphor of time famine is not quite accurate. We are perhaps crammed with time, but with the wrong kind. Like people who eat too much junk food, we have filled our lives with the wrong kind of time, and rarely if ever do we avail ourselves of the kind of time that will truly nourish our spirits. . . .
"In the fullness of time" is a beautiful biblical expression. It means a miraculous moment in which the eternal and the temporal meet. But more, fullness suggests that far from experiencing time as a void, we can experience it as abundance.
