At www.the-brights.net a naturalistic stance is held
on the whys and whereofs of our lives - and the meaning of it all.
I now and then, as time permits, do a bit 'a posting on their discussion forums
under the alias 'Albatross'.

I do not hold to anyones agenda and do not endeavour to presume
upon anyone an agenda of mine. The ideas presented here, in these pages,
in no way represent any general views held by participators at The Brights' forums,
although from my side I hold an affinity for some of their views. / Albatross

One of my cats - Tinker

Just relaxing. He thinks to eat the Albatross.
At times we dream impossible dreams.

"Heaven and Earth,

for a song holding unto a naturalistic vision of life.

Written 14 January 2006 - by me, Juri Aidas / Albatross.

Here's the song, in RealAudio.
