I am sure you know what I mean : be suddenly transported out of the present time. Just in a millisecond.
That just happened to me this morning as I was running into the woods: the simple smell of pine trees warmed by the sun. How powerful! I was transported to when I was a teenager, living in a house behind the dune and surrounded by pine trees.
It was about 12 degrees C, blue sky and sunny, the ideal temperature to run: enough cold to wear a comfortable long sleeve shirt and long pants, without being too warm while exercising, but entirely protected from the sun and other bugs.
