Along the Way the Hours

The word pass is closely tied to weigh—to putting something on the scales. Time cannot be spent well without understanding its weight and the meaning we add to it. Time is the common element for both those who build their lives and those who watch life pass by; it is an intangible asset that enriches rich and poor alike. As hours go by, value stems from those who give time weight. Living thoughtfully requires opening truth to scrutiny, reflection, and deep introspection. Encountering truth is an enlightened and liberating act. For this reason, this book demands a keen, inquisitive reader who is ready to disagree and engage in open dialogue. Resisting passive reading and exploring between the lines honours these pages, which are meant to provoke thought. Finally, while we are encouraged to judge ideas, we must avoid judging people, heeding Christ’s words: “I judge no one” (John 8:15).
