“It may surprise parents who have not given much a “It may surprise parents who have not given much attention to the subject to discover also a code of education in the Gospels, expressly laid down by Christ.” Few sentences have impacted me more in my decades of study of Charlotte Mason’s words. For here we have a “captain idea”: that we see our children the way Christ sees them. “The most fatal way of despising the child falls under the third educational law of the Gospels; it is to overlook and make light of his natural relationship with Almighty God. ‘Suffer the little children to come unto Me,’ says the Saviour, as if that were the natural thing for the children to do, the thing they do when they are not hindered by their elders.” In these timeless and heart-rending words, Mason points us to Matthew 19. She vividly urges us to set no hindrances in the path of our daughters and sons. Sadly, in her six volumes of published poetry on the Gospels of Christ, she did not reach Matthew 19. We never knew what poetic meditation she would have on this wonderful passage. Until handwritten pages were found in a file. On one of which was Mason’s poem on the third educational law of the Gospels: Hinder not. The poem was discovered so that it could be read.

This is the river at the bottom of our toboggan hi This is the river at the bottom of our toboggan hill. We’ve have a super slow start to winter and we’re obviously not able to sled here yet! With the falling of the first few centimetres of snow, the younger children in the neighbourhood, out of sheer desperation, have been sledding down a large woodchip pile on a campus maintenance yard. Winter kids need winter fun! Tell us what seasonal things you have going on. @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #slowstarttowinter #exploringnaturewithchildren #1000hoursoutside #charlottemasonirl #winterkids #tobogganing #sledding #snow #frozenriver #eyesandnoeyes #winterbeauty #thisishowwehomeschool #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #simplicityparenting #advent
When you’re part of a family that’s been doing pic When you’re part of a family that’s been doing picture study your whole life, it’s interesting when your history book talks about art. My son recently read this passage in Paul Johnson’s “A History of the American People”: “[Edwin Church] then decided to tackle the great showpiece of American topography, the Niagara Falls… He chose the Canadian angle of the Falls with tremendous skill, made six prolonged visits, produced hundreds of sheets of drawings and twenty-one major oil sketches. The final painting, 7 1/2 feet wide, took him six weeks and was specially exhibited on May 1, 1857 in Manhattan… It proved to be the most successful picture ever shown in the United States by far and later went on a tour of Europe. Ruskin hailed it as ‘the coming of age of American art.’” By reading these words, my son was learning about an old friend: this was already his favorite painting. Last weekend we saw it again at the National Gallery of Art. The caption on the wall by its side included this line: “[Church’s] detailed painting combines frothing waves and water sheeting over rock surfaces. As one writer described the painting in 1857, ‘This is Niagara, with the roar left out!’” Standing before those words my son turned to me. “How could anyone say that?” he asked. “How could someone look at this painting and *not* hear the roar?” I had no answer for him. All I could do was breathe a silent prayer thanking God that eyes can hear. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonliving #livingeducation #picturestudy #artiststudy #knowledgeofGod #truthbeautygoodness #childrenarebornpersons #dadsarepersonstoo #parenthoodunplugged #charlottemasonlife #educationisalife #scienceofrelations #familyculture #spreadingthefeast #livingideas #homeschoolphilosophy #charlottemasonphilosophy #edwinchurch #niagarafalls #horseshoefalls #americanart #nationalgalleryofart #eyescanhear #eyesandnoeyes
