Everyone's got a mite to contribute to the general mass of knowledge - to reflect upon  and record  the way that things have registered with them along the way. Each of us has a particular and unique view of events. We've as much right as anybody else to register an opinion before we leave this mortal coil - so here are a few writings of my own and others. I've tried to write it straightforwardly for I'm long past the stage of trying to impress people - it's too late for that anyway. Originally this section was designed to publish just my own writings, but I have decided to change it to include the poetry and writings of other people whose work I admire. As I have just decided to do this, it might appear that my own writings predominate, but as more work by others begins to appear the section should achieve more balance.
