Inspired by the following passage from David Elginbrod by George MacDonald:
But I expect to see something in this fir wood. I’m here most mornings as the day dawns, and then later in the day….
Yet I have an expectation of seeing something, I don’t know what; for the whole place here seems full of a presence, …
[And] the sound in the fir trees are far more solemn and sweet [than the singing in church] at the same time, and much more like the praising of God than in the psalms altogether.
About Christi
I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet.
Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
