Inspired by the following passage from The Confessions by St. Augustine:
All this those writings of the Platonists do not have. Their pages do not have this face of piety, the tears of confession, your sacrifice, a troubled spirit, a contrite and a humbled heart, ….
In them no man hears him calling to us: ‘Come unto me, all you that labor.’ They scorn to learn of him because he is meek and humble of heart.
‘For you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.’
(7.21.27)
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.
