The ancient Greeks believed in two types of time: “chronos” - referring to chronological, sequential or ordinary time; and “kairos” - meaning unique time, time in between.

KAIROS
...is a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word.
...is a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved.
...according to Isocrates: "managing well the circumstances which one encounters day by day...possessing a judgment which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise and rarely missing the expedient course of action".
...according to Aristotle: " the time and space context in which the proof will be delivered".
...according to theologian Paul Tillich: "crises in history which create an opportunity for, and indeed demand, an existential decision".
