Have completed a brief essay for seminary on Leibniz's The Monadology. Apart from the standard monthly essays on the various world religions (about 5,000 words each) and a monthly short essay on a chapter from Felder's reconstruction of the ten commandments (yes, really), we also have a short essay on any reading from the Sacred Text's archive; my next pieces will be on The Bird Parliament and (tell me you're surprised) The Last Days of Socrates.
