Shock and Awe

When I suddenly find out...big news or information, I frequently fall into an awake stupor. It's like being on a train at ninety miles an hour and someone pulls the emergency brake. All stop.
Like the proverbial "deer in the headlights" whereby a deer will literally stop dead in its tracks if confronted by bright, blinding light, I am stunned. Whatever thought processes and ideas had been rampant in my brain suddenly cease to exist and disappear into the blackening, foggy mist.
It is a very surreal experience that hasn't happened in many moons. I am stunned. Unable to process or grasp this new information. Or as they say "wrap my brain around it". Hmm, obviously there is an emotional component to this as that is the criteria for stun. Processing, processing......
