The Zone

It's a common expression to state that someone's in the zone. Does that mean if the person moved, would he then be out of the zone? Is the zone really a geographic location? Now, that does not mean that the zone has to be a fixed location on the earth. Who says it can't be dynamic? What if the zone is in reality a moving spot that weaves in and out of our lives?

This makes a lot of sense. We usually end up in the zone unbeknownst to any previous action of our own, and just as soon as we begin relishing in our new found zoned-ness, we fall out of the zone back into our ho-hum lives. One way of looking at this is that our path in life suddenly synchronizes with a zone sector and for a brief while, the sector travels in the same direction as we do. Eventually, our two courses diverge and we fall out of the zone. Obviously, zones are sensitive to our unique temporal and biorhythmic frequencies. . . otherwise, just standing near a person in the zone would highly increase your chances of entering the zone.

Also, since many people can be in the zone simultaneously, numerous zones must exist. Now, if we could somehow detect these zones and perhaps even attract them, just think how fast mankind could improve itself.
