Once upon a time, I woke up from a deep sleep not knowing ‘when’ I was. Not that I was unaware of my surroundings, but for a very brief moment I wasn’t sure of how old I was. In the time it took for my brain to warm up, I was clear of all and any memories or associations I had ever made in my life. Without any direction, motivation or meaning; I was lost.
And it was amazing.
Until I forced myself to recall information, I felt my suspended body suddenly animate into life; even though I wasn’t moving. Cognition spread through my veins, and from my heart outwards, grew a sensation that made me feel…
Heavier.
