Inspired by the following passage from Within and Without by George MacDonald:
So lies my journey — on into the dark!
Without my will I find myself alive,
And must go forward….
But what I be, fifty summers hence?
My life, my being, all that meaneth me,
Goes darkling forward into something — what?
O God, thou knowest. It is not my care.
If thou wert less than truth, or less than love,
It were a fearful thing to be and grow
We know not what….
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.
