ἀκμή

You are not focused.

You ignore the akme (ἀκμή).

You are missing the larger picture.

This is how one eremitic encouraged another who was seeking the face of God in the fourth century. (Paradise of the Desert Fathers)

----------

Akme (ἀκμή. Koine Greek uses this term simultaneously in both spatial and temporal contexts. While it means, the best, it does so in the sense that it is pointing to something that is gneuine, something that is really real. Therefore, it calls for a response from the person who is experiencing; as such it is the moment of truth. It is through one's direct experience of God (con-templum) that we are able to bear the rest of whatever presents itself that is less with patience and without acedia (ἀκηδία) - neglect, abandonment, listlessness.
