Drifting...

Smetimes thoughts just drift by and sddenly there is a void. You loose track of what you were doing/thinking in that few secs. I don't really know how many have experienced such a state. But trust me - such voids, when we experience - feels kind of good. Consider it quaint, weird...I don't care.

Living a mechanical life most of the time, going through life's chores keeps us from the down time to "sit and stare". So getting into short voids of nothingness - be it through yoga, prnayam, meditation whatever or like me - simple drifting. Like it happened today. i picked up the phone, dialed a number and hit their machine. Suddenly I forgot who I dialed, switched off and just sat there, a be a few seconds. it was blank. With a child playing around me, half way thru cooking - i wa able to experience a quietness. Wow - felt good :)

To think of it the otherway - is my memory deteriorating??? or is it the early sign posts for alzheimers??? No clue. but i liked the quiet, the void, so comforting!!!
