Rodin’s figure appears to be looking inward, but as I worked on this drawing I kept returning to Proverbs. Wisdom is never found by turning inward alone. We search, question, and reflect—not to become self-sufficient, but to become humble enough to receive what only God can give.

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.
