Is this meditating?

[Giscardo]

When I was younger (elementary school age) I would sometimes imagine a white circular shape. If my mind was totally clear of all thoughts and I concentrated on this just right, the circle would expand until all I could "see" was nothing, just whiteness. I would get this really relaxed feeling, like an inner peace. It never lasted that long but sometimes I could achieve it a few times in a row. I haven't been able to do this as I've gotten older. Anyone know what this was?

Nope. It is known as ADD.

Zoning out, trust me you'll get better at it with time. But you started early so you can just pass out now on cue right? You must teach me master. I must learn to ignore people on demand.

That's no good, nobody's moving at all.

5pm is when everybody stops moving
3pm is when people think they have left the office early, and they are rushing to beat the traffic, and none of them are willing to break

In other words, yes.
