Thoughts to ponder

This is more a reminder to myself than anything else. I am contemplating two thoughts at the moment, which I hope will generate some more writing work.

1) The analogy between Ice and Mind. In particular, both hand how their work is to create change while retaining memory.

2) The naming and unnaming of things. The nature of names and labels and the acts of claiming and liberation, the acts of creating distance and separation between self and other throught the use of naming (here we can remember GOOK and many other names, EVIL DOOERS (god he even fails at being a facist).
    a) Naming of our landscape as a way of planting flags "Pikes Peak"
    b) Deterritorialization through thenames of watersheds (for example) rather than states or city names
    c) Naming through description rather than status (woman-that-makes-my-heart-quicken rather than using a term like MY-WIFE)
