Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s “Story of a Sea Shore”:
Dome up, O heaven, yet higher o’er my head!
Back, back, horizon; widen out my world!
Rush in, O fathomless sea of the Unknown!
For, though He slay me, I will trust in God.
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.
