Oh, this is a pleasant place. I have caught myself in the neutral zone. Granted I have spent many an hour, afternoon, day here but for some reason, I just seem to be aware of my different "states" more often these days.
Zoning is when I am just sitting and being. The hands on the clock keep moving. Whatever tv station is on changes from one program to another and I am, quite simply, just not completely with the program. What is so cool about this...place..this space..is that it is really calm, non-stressful, an absence of...hmmm, just about everything. I mean, thoughts are like, there, softly moving to and fro but I don't focus on anything in particular.
Its like the calm before the storm without any storm or impending doom. Different than a shut down because there is no exhaustion to overcome and there is no numbness anywhere.
I can probably best describe it as a really good, fairly deep daydream....NICE!
Its something that takes place most often at night after everyone has gone to bed and I sit in the master chair, the comfy lounger and have my feet kicked up. Although, (I scoff), I have noticed that when this happens during the day, say, when I am sitting at a particularly long red light, it takes a lot of work to get back in focus.
The lights are on, but no one is home or rather, no one is willing to answer the door. Its a very welcome break. And, yeah, I can do this for hours on end. It just seems like it has been a very, very long time since I have been here. My brain is on a little vacation...later
