Inspired the following passage from George MacDonald’s Robert Falconer:
Men call the shadow, thrown upon the universe where their own dusky souls come between it and the eternal sun, ‘life’, and then mourn that it should be less bright than the hopes of their childhood.
Keep thou thy soul translucent, that thou mayest never see its shadow; at least never abuse thyself with the philosophy which calls that shadow life.
Or, rather would I say, become thou pure in heart, and thou shalt see God, whose vision alone is life.
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.
