This quotes explains the simplicity of taking the time during each procedure of what ever it is you are doing. It tells us why we should take our time and not rush. In taking time you get to experience things more fully. Rushing to get to somewhere or the next step is not living. Breathe, relax and take your time and enjoy it. It is your time and it is yours to use as you desire.
Chronos (Ancient Greek: Χρόνος, "time," also transliterated as Khronos or Latinized as Chronus) is the personification of Time in pre-Socratic philosophy and later literature.
Chronos was imagined as a god, serpentine in form, with three heads—those of a man, a bull, and a lion.[c He and his consort, serpentine Ananke (Inevitability), circled the primal world egg in their coils and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky.
Chronos was confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, due to the similarity in name, the Titan Cronus already in antiquity,the identification becoming more widespread during the Renaissance, giving rise to the allegory of "Father Time" wielding the harvesting scythe.
He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. Chronos, however, might also be contrasted with the deity Aion as Eternal Time(see aeon).
Chronos is usually portrayed through an old, wise man with a long, grey beard, such as "Father Time". Some of the current English words whose etymological root is khronos/chronos include chronology, chronometer, chronic, anachronism, and chronicle.
