Inspired by the following passage from Phantastes by George MacDonald:

I have a strange feeling sometimes, that I am a ghost, sent into the world to minister to my fellowmen, or, to repair wrongs I have already done.

May the world be brighter for me, at least in those portions of it, where my darkness falls not.

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.
