I saw comments online about dangers of…

"anger turning into RUMINATION. […] Be angry, say your peace [sic] or learn about said person and adjust your boundaries and relationships, but rumination is a killer, it erodes you."

Bizarre! I've known #rumination, which for humans means thinking deeply, to be a good thing. I searched & found several sources refer to rumination only related to negative thoughts. Even "reputable" sources like psychiatry.org.

No, it's not bad! Go out & #ruminate!

The #MastoPrompt for Friday 30 August 2024 is:

#ruminate

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text so I can boost your post.
