About This Collection

A Different Understanding of Time

Modern life has taught us to understand time primarily through clocks, calendars, schedules and deadlines. Yet human beings experience time through more than measurement.

The body moves through rhythms. Life unfolds through stages. Formation requires duration. Generations carry memory. Rest and activity alternate. Birth, maturation, release and renewal remind us that life does not move as a mechanical straight line.

The Woman as Timekeeper explores these questions through women's embodied experience while recognizing that the feminine principle reaches beyond biological womanhood.

Across twelve Journals, we will distinguish biological evidence from historical and cultural tradition, and distinguish both from spiritual and formation interpretation.

Central Question

The Woman as Timekeeper

The clock can tell us the hour without telling us the meaning of the season.

This collection asks us to recover both: the ability to measure time and the wisdom to understand what a particular time may require.
