I think I died in bed last night, but I was too contrary to stay among the unliving. It was a normal night for me; sleep awhile and lay awake for awhile. Toward dawn in one of the wide awake periods and as I was thinking deep thoughts of universal salvation via my Loose Laces ministry, I suddenly heard a soft and very short grinding “Pop” and the world went completely blank and dark and then it was back to normal. How long the absence of Cosmos lasted I do not know; it could have been a split second or minutes, but it seemed very rapid. When I came back from the darkness, the noise went away as quickly as it began; that is to say, “instantly”. No, the noise was not there while the blackness was overpowering me; there was nothing and darkness was upon the face of the deep—there was not even a sense of “I”.
Did I really die? I cannot answer that as I have never knowingly been dead. Was it all just a dream? Definitely not! If I did die, was I resurrected? Maybe; I hear it happens. Do I feel divine? I always have. Did the incident scare me? Nope, but it did get my attention. Could it have been caused by a physiological problem? Quite possibly. Did I see a bright light which I was compelled to walk toward? No. Did I feel a hot pitchfork prodding my butt? Nay. Can I walk on water? Haven’t tried. Do I feel that I am now a zombie? I can’t imagine desiring brains for breakfast. The evidence suggests I don’t know what happened, but happen it did. I checked the obits this morning and will continue to do so for the next few days; I want to be sure before I bother to take a shower and shave.

Sorry for off topic, but 2012 is close, is this really matter?
hahahaha
oh do forgive me but this is highly entertaining. Since you are a retired electrian, do you not recognize a shorted out connection? Did your grounding wire fray and cause this?
you just made my day! But let me tell you, you don't want to go wandering around in the dark without a flashlight. Could be our brain is simply all electrical connections. You need to refresh your electrolytes. Serious... when I was in for my day surgery recently and when I woke up and asked the nurse what was in my IV she said oh, electrolytes and stuff. I should research that, but am enjoying my ignorance and the sheer wonder of it all.
Yep, I didn't think of that; I momentarily overloaded a circuit breaker. I'm glad it was a self-resetting type. It was eerie.
I think this is one of my better blog posts. :-)
You are right about electrolytes; I drink GatorAde and other good stuff to help keep them balanced.
Thanks, Maggie.
