Ever wake up in the morning blind-sided by an overwhelming surge of some emotion that is so intense, it numbs you? The numbness takes over, so you never get the chance to put a name to the emotion, until sometime after you've been walking around in this daze, someone says something--or maybe you hear a song--and the numbness goes away. All of a sudden, the emotion is unleashed and it floors you. And then you fixate on whatever that someone said, or on the lyrics of that one song, because somehow, whatever it was, it reached down into your depths. So then it leaves you trying to figure out why it meant so much and how it relates to that feeling you woke up with that one morning.
