Her Confidence in One Who Failed so Unworthily, Shamed Me

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s Lilith:
Her confidence in one who had failed so unworthily, shamed me.
But neither had I initiated the movement, nor had I any ground for opposing it; I had no choice, but must give it the best help I could!
For myself, I was ready to live or die with Lona. Her humility as well as her trust humbled me, and I gave myself heartily to her purposes.
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.
