What is it like in the gap in between thoughts?

It’s hard to notice since the thoughts race and pile up on one another but there are moments where I think I sense a quiet nonjudging space in the gap. Or maybe I am still thinking but anyway it’s a spot of peace without trying which I wish would stretch out.

Anyone have any discoveries, ideas, to share?

it sounds like that moment when you have had a good nights sleep and you wake up in the morning and don't think about anything....peace....quiet....it's lovely...even if it's just for a moment. I wish I had the answer for stretching that moment out, cause Yeah....anyone who knew how to make that stretch out would be a bazillion air for sure.

I think you just experienced a few moments of peace, when you weren't beating yourself up mentally, which is what depressives do all the time.

Freedom, or a little glimpse of it. I use to be afraid to enjoy that little moment when everything was peaceful in my head and i wasn't overthinking
