All life was suspended
And the earth stood still
I was encased in a void
Of neither heat nor chill
Breath and blood froze in time
And nothing intruded
In that world of mine

Sometimes shock is good . . . it brings us back to our senses.
Other times, it feels surreal . . . as you’ve described. As if we are in a bubble and nothing intrudes.

I was in a state of shock when my husband had a bad motorbike accident a few years back. The police called me to the scene and when I got there he was lying on the road in a pool of blood. I thought he was dead. He is OK now but I’ll never forget that feeling of shock. It WAS as if I was in a void. Very odd feeling. Well described, Adeeyoyo.

I am so glad that he is ok, Selma. I have had that feeling twice and it is really peculiar. I tried to isolate exactly how it felt and now a little more has come back to me as I write this. Thank you Selma.

An internal retreat, is sometimes the best way to find the place where you are meant to be. If that makes any sense.

Beautiful, Denise. I get the feeling it’s working out something specific. And thus therapeutic.
I hope so.

Thanks, John, for liking it. I was just trying to put into words, and sense, what happens when one suffers or is confronted by a tremendous shock.

It reminds me of animals when they freeze in headlights. A moment of stasis when reality becomes too much.

That reaction is probably related to what happens to humans, i.e. fight or flight dilemma. Paralysis is a part of the reaction I described above though.
