Through Mist and Dark My Soul Draws Nigh To Thee

Inspired the following passage from Within and Without by George MacDonald:

I thank thee for the sorrow and the care,
Through which they gleamed, bright phosporescent sparks

Crushed from the troubled waters, borne on which
Through mist and dark my soul draws nigh to thee.

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.
