A fascinating look at the curves nature can throw at us. Who'd have thought that a stroke could lead to such an outcome? BTW, your comment went straight to spam, probably because it contained a link. I am going to try to get this fixed somehow, because it's been happening a lot lately. CN,

Also thanks to those readers Richard, PJ, Mandy de Waal and mindfulmimi who commented for the first time for being patient - I moderate all first-time comments and haven't logged on for 10 days. Exhausted, but happy - and so to bed... Just a quick note to say hi and thanks to all those who wished us a great trip to Paris, because that’s the way it turned out!

We did this relaxation thing and part of me just popped out of my body. Only I wasn't conscious of it. The only way I can describe it now is pure experience. Experience without the thought of experience. I was about 22 or so at the time. Years later I would have a very minor stroke. And then the same experience. Almost a beautiful experience (which most people are surprised to hear). That experience of just being experience, or just being consciousness without the mind. Try as I might I have never had that first experience again. The second I hope I will never have again. Awesome blog. Beautiful words. I had that once after yoga.

I used to get these thoughts when I was a kid and teenager too. thinking about planet earth and what if there was no people on it anymore, just me. Then what if there were no earth? That already got me floating. It was scary too und incomprehensible. I try to do that now and I can get the flow of thought going but not that floaty feeling. I don't know how it left and why and how to get it back. On the other hand, I am quite happy the earth is still there with the people I know :-) Hi there,
