Oct 2024 read: Kairos Castle by Joke J. Hermes

As the days grew shorter and darkness settled in earlier, I found myself paying more attention to small moments—the way certain things seem to line up just right, almost like a quiet kind of synchronicity. Kairos felt like the perfect book for that mood, exploring the idea of chance and timing, of moments that seem insignificant until you look back and realize how much they shaped everything. This month, I let myself be more mindful of those fleeting connections, the pauses between decisions, and the feeling that sometimes, things fall into place without force.

Kairos Castle: The Art of the moment by Joke J. Hermsen

German title: Kairos - Vom Leben im richtigen Augenblick

Kairos by Joke J. Hermes is a novel about the subtle ways time and fate intertwine. It lingers on the moments we don’t recognize as turning points until much later, exploring memory, chance, and the delicate balance between choice and inevitability. The writing is reflective and layered, capturing the weight of passing time and the meaning found in hindsight. It’s a book that doesn’t rush to conclusions but invites you to notice the patterns and echoes within its story—just as in life.
