There are days when we seem to be adrift in the middle of nowhere. It is as if we lost what connects us to our surroundings. Strange feeling, to be so out of touch, so disconnected. It's not like being lost in thought. Distances seem to grow. Touching the curtain next to us feels like reaching out through eternity. Sounds are muffled, colors pale somehow and the world around us seems to turn a tick slower than usual. Time stretches, grinds towards a silent halt. We shrink back into our innermost self, withdraw to the depths of our mind.
And then suddenly we are thrown back into the stream of life. The world is once more loud and filled with vivid colors.
