Hey, it’s not like I ruminate all the time.
I have a life you know. I’m not always consumed about past events.

Alright. I’m ruminating about how unjust it was that my patents had no awareness about teeth hygiene. By the time I went to the dentist, I needed 3 extractions and 4 fillings. it was absolutely brutal. (aged 11)

Dear jack:

This is my best time of the day, MORNINGS, so I am least likely to suffer from rumination (Ruminator Ramona). I think overall I ruminate less but in the afternoons I often feel the distress that was attached to enormous past rumination. Now I have the distress accompanying rumination that is not there in the form of thoughts. Sort of when a car halts and no longer moves and you smell the burning of your tires. They are no longer moving, but you smell the movement that was.

Regarding dentists: I had my first dentist EVER that did not hurt at all here in WA a couple of years ago. I couldn’t believe it, even the injection to numb the gums didn’t hurt- he used a gel that numbed the gums and then injected and then turned on that abominable drill- and I felt nothing, no pain at all. HAD NO IDEA it was possible.

Yes Anita morning tends to be quite optimistic for me too.

This thread needs a poem
And I am here
To add my weight
by drinking beer
no need to dwell on past events
that can’t be changed
why not focus?
on being less deranged?

You did your best
That is clear
You don’t believe me
Do you dear
You decided not to make a wave
So what
At least you didn’t rave
It did not become a major drama
Surely good for your karma
But now you want to obsess again
about the bully
Bad ass Ben
He’s not worth even a second
Of your valued and unique
attention
So come back to the present moment
Listen to your precious heartbeat
Honour the child
who lives within
He was hurt
but now he’s healed.
No need to ruminate
anymore
inner selves all vote
“no more”

Dear Jack:

Beautiful, beautiful poem! You called 2015 a bad year in another thread but how can it be a bad (you used another word) year is this poem and the others poem as well as IST were all written and created in 2015, as well as you standing up for me, all happened this year-

This poem:

no need to dwell on past events
that can’t be changed

why not focus
on being less deranged

come back to the present moment
Listen to your precious heartbeat

Honour the child
who lives within
He was hurt

No need to ruminate
anymore
inner selves all vote
“no more”

Highly appreciated and enjoyed by me! Thank you !!!

and anita

of the bad twenty fifteen

like no one else can

Dear Jack:

Ohhhh… if it wasn’t for the almost rare burger I had on home baked bread roll with cooked feta cheese, onions and mushrooms and a dessert of cooked quinces with vanilla and stevia, I would say your poem was the best thing that happened to me this evening. I love it! Love it! Love it!!!

Love it, did I mention it?

if it wasn’t for
the way she writes
I would be lost
and have no fight

if it wasn’t for
the way she listens
I’d be half dead
my heart not glisten

if it wasn’t for
the way she cares
I’d give up now
in total despair

if it wasn’t for
the way he smiles
My day’d be less
By far, by miles

(dedicated to my loved ones)

Is this poem about me? Before I take it personally, I thought it be wise if I ask…

This was all great to read/see today. After a long day at work, follows an even longer night of ruminating about every type of interaction with anyone, coworkers, clients, supervisors, what will happen the next day.
Thank you for reminding me to be assertive with that inner bully taunting me with these ruminations.

Okay, Jack, no answer from you, so I am taking ownership as the recipient of the poem above, officially, now, at this time. Thank you so much for the poem… I just copied and pasted it. I have your other poem printed in my folder and will print this one tomorrow. It is so beautiful, so very beautiful. I didn’t know if it was for me because of the way “she smiles” and of course yu never saw me smile. But the poem is MINE! It is the second poem about me from you and I am touched beyond words. Your poetry is beautiful and to think you put me in your poetry is … I am now speechless.

I think I made it clear
move on
move on
no mistake
depends how you take
you are special
no need to fear
take it easy
time to return
to a slower gear
