The Heart of the Laugh Was Love

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s The Princess and Curdie:
And her laugh was sweeter than song and wheel
Sweeter than running brook and silver bell;
Sweeter than joy itself,
For the heart of the laugh was love.
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.
