Dear Inky:

Of course I have questions, but I will ask only one per post and hope to get your reply. There is just so much in what you wrote, impossible to take in except in small portions.

You wrote: “Not ruminating on the past and/or bad. Focusing ONLY on the good and/or present moment.”

1) Was little girl Inky significantly hurt and scared as a child, again and again, ongoing for long periods of time?

2) Were you ever in the practice of ruminating over your childhood hurts, not focusing on the present? For how long and at what ages?

3) If you did ruminate and then stopped, how old were you then and how did the transformation from rumination to focusing on the present take place? What made it happen, following what…?

4) As you know lots of people ruminate about their childhood hurts and other hurts later on. Why can’t they stop ruminating and focusing on the present? Why can’t they do what you are doing???

There is more and I don’t even know if you will answer these questions, so I will stop here. I am still very, very curious and appreciate your reply so far. If you reply to this as well, I will… well, I will appreciate it so much.
