Time doesn't stand still for just anyone, so when my heart stopped, well, I could only feel something that tasted a lot like honor. You may be thinking this is sad. Well it isn't. I didn't die. I have no plans to do that anytime soon.
When I say “my heart stopped” I mean that, in a sense, it was turned off. I was able, just for a moment, to stop feeling. I was able to be calm for just a moment. I for once wasn't frustrated and angry. I for once wasn't happy by obligation.
I didn't feel the need to do anything. I was just able to sit and absorb with no reaction. I was able to understand without bias or opinion. It was all fact. It was all simple without the emotion.
I would say I felt relieved but even that had been stripped from me. I just was. Everything just was, and looking back that was great. I'm glad for that, but I know that timeless moment would mean nothing without time at all.
