The passage of time - impersonal, unrelenting, and insistent upon its trajectory from past into present on to future. Our day-to-day awareness is immersed in this notion of time...but what of surprises? What of eternity? What if we have access to a consciousness that extends beyond time and space? What if that consciousness brings healing?
In and Out of Time continues the story of Peter Holmes, a financial consultant, and Brittany Thomas, an intern completing her master's degree in social work. In Chiron's Light they labored together to provide an innovative recommendation to St. Raphael's Hospital's board of directors. After that month-long process, supported by contributions from hospice coordinator Tara Lakelyn and internist Alex Haskins, Peter proposed a complementary healing program to address the inner-city health center's impending financial crisis and its community's longer-term needs.
In this sequel to Chiron's Light, Peter and Brittany's relationship deepens while Peter also strives to make his proposed complementary healing program a reality. Together with Tara and Alex, they face the numerous challenges - personal, social, legal, and financial - that arise when a new paradigm struggles to stake its claim amidst an entrenched vision of illness and healing. Mark Roland, a newly hired surgeon at St. Raphael's, stirs additional conflicts that seriously test the character, courage, and commitment of those who must engage with him. Old wounds surface; their healing depends upon a new understanding of time.
Tackling these difficulties jeopardizes Peter and Brittany's personal relationship as well as the future of the complementary healing program. Only by plummeting the depths of their hearts and souls can they find the answers they seek. Will they discover what they need to know in time? Will they run out of time? Will they need to shift their consciousness in and out of time?
With humor, poignancy, and attention to the soulful aspects of what it means to be human, In and Out of Time welcomes the reader to reflect on the nature of conflict, the value of peace, and the factors that might bridge a meaningful path between them. It challenges our notion of linear time with derailing surprises in the context of eternity, all the while inviting a greater awareness of love and our power to choose.
