Kairos

Kairos ( καιρός ) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time , the latter signifies a time between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kairos
