my latest trance is now going on hour no. 64. i can’t seem to step out of it, walk away from it. i’m in it. very deeply in it.

i can’t say it’s meditative, contemplative, tranquil or effervescent. i can’t describe it with any hyperbole. i’m in a trance and that is as far as my understanding will take me.

some people just do not seem to comprehend that the person they encounter is somebody who might be in a trance. perhaps they are walking around within their own trances.

maybe that explains why we are constantly colliding on the sidewalks. clinging to our smartphones as if they are remote controls. but the navigation systems are all askew. compass interference. hence, the colliding.

yet the impact of the collision does not awaken any of us from our trances. i wonder what will it take.
