Roadmap of topics

This is a placeholder for things I'd like to cover:

1. The second half of my background, including my involvement with feminist theology and paganism.

2. Bhakti, making room for relationship with God.

3. This very cool book, "God's Mechanics".

4. Rethinking the value of Thomism. I have held on to it for years as a kind of theological security blanket, helping me bridge the divide between rationalism and theology. I am now beginning to think that Aquinas as I understand him distances me from the divine, or at least creates a sort of formalized head-first dynamic that insulates me from intimacy in that relationship.

5. Being angry with Mary Daly.

6. Two mystical experiences and how they expanded my understanding of my relationship with the divine.
