I'm in the process of reorganizing my material, because frankly some areas are getting directories that take up too much of the page.  One thing I noted is that I have a tendency to post my thought-processes on different things.  Since the subheading has presented itself, I figure I'll go ahead and do so.

Thus, this section contains my thoughts on various things - and there are quite a few rants here.  At some point I may split those out too, but for now, they can live together.  After all, they do so in my head, right?

• 911, Something I wrote in response to the events of September 11, 2001

• Pan Or Poly is an old thought process, where I was trying to determine if I was a pantheist or a polytheist.  Neither one fit.  There's a good reason for that - I'm an animist.  Still, I thought it might be of value, and included it here.

• Bender was an letter to Buck Brannaman after reading his book, The Faraway Horses.  Unfortunately I have no way to send it to him, and he probably doesn't have the time to read it anyway.  Still, it helped me to get it off my chest.

• Spiritual Enlightenment, something I wrote in a fit of frustration recently when someone threw the term around once too often for my tastes.

• Man contains my views on the nature of mankind, and what I believe are the misconceptions thereof.

• Benedict XVI is something I wrote after the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of Benedict XVI; It's about cultural roots.

• Special is just another one of my silly rants about putting things on children, and the overuse of a term

• GOTT (Guardian of the Threshold) is a series of posts taken from the Tribe list about a conversation I recently had with one of my cats, and the concept of the Guardian of the Threshold.

• Syrinx is about what I went through when I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia - a diagnosis that can be either congenital or ultimately terminal.
