That remarkable, numb moment or two when you've accidentally just cut yourself badly with a very sharp knife, a sliver of broken glass, or whatever else so razor-sharp that you don't feel anything there for seconds. Your eyes grasp it first-- the cut or the blood rushing out of the wound. And your mind, usually so quick and aware, is left far behind while the eyes lead the way to the realization. No matter how old you are or how many times it has happened to you before, this slow motion process is always the same: cut--see--realize what you have done to yourself. Finally the pain comes, like thunder a few long seconds after the lightning. As a kid you learned to count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder. That way you could tell how far away the storm really was. It's much like that-- the cut, the see, the blood, the oh, and only then the ow!
