Blacking out

I posted an item November 10 about blacking out in my backyard. I want to revisit that for a moment.

As I wrote then, I heard this loud thump, which was actually me falling and hitting the wall of the garage. But I didn't have any sense of falling, nor did I realize I'd hit anything. The thump sounded as if it were coming from somewhere nearby, but not as if I was the cause of it.

Then I had this brief sense of warmth, calm, security and serenity. I remember having the vague thought, "everything's OK." That must have been happening as I was sort of sliding down the wall of the garage to the ground. I keep wondering what that sensation was about. It was probably just a natural physical sensation, but it felt like more.
