A concept (as you know) I have been obsessed with for years. For most of my life I had known that the etymology of my name was "Bearer/carrier of Christ". I had also known the *reason* my parents had chosen to give me that name. What I didnt know, and what I discovered in my research, was the pre-Christian meaning of my name was "Anoiter of Destiny". The realization of that my name carried my personal obsession with this topic was shocking to me.Apotroposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864407876788817noreply@blogger.com
