Timefulness is Marcia Bjornerud's "acute, lived awareness" of being embedded in deep time. I take it up as the cure for our time-illiteracy.
How the word moved
In March 2026 I wanted timefulness cultivated as a daily ritual of sensing, coordination and care. Easier said than done when most of us can barely keep track of next Tuesday.
In my words
"Instead, we must cultivate Bjornerud’s timefulness"
