Time is precious. Through awareness of our experience with time---that is, watching over our impulses that, unguarded, call us out of our heart's dwelling in real time---we taste of the life we would have known had we never sinned. Awareness of time is our vocation as the New Adam, the New Eve.
Fully aware of this present moment we stand in the presence of God in humility, love, and gratitude, desiring to live in yielded obedience rather than the slavery of self-rule.
