“Take everything you know about building a fire “Take everything you know about building a fire and turn it upside down.” These words, spoken by the park ranger at Mount Greylock, captured the attention of my boys attending the Jr. Ranger Program. Ten years later, we still use this efficient fire building technique they learned that day. Learn how to build a traditional Scandinavian top-down fire in the TRADITIONS bundle from @wildandfree.co (by subscription). With photos by @aolander, we’ll take you step-by-step through the method as well as tips on teaching your children fire safety. @rbaburina . . . . . . . . . #topdownfire #charlottemasonscouting #wildandfreemama #wildandfreemum #naturestudy
“Relativism flourishes in a setting where appear “Relativism flourishes in a setting where appearances become tantamount to reality and where there is no longer any transcendent basis for judging one appearance as better than another,” wrote David Hicks in 1981. Many home educators have sought relief from the shifting sands of relativism in the apparent stability of classical education. Nowhere was I expecting to hear a more robust defense of this stability than at the 2019 CiRCE National Conference entitled “A Contemplation of Form.” The event was nothing less than a celebration of absolutes in a world of relativism. On the last day of the conference, however, I heard a comment from the stage that puzzled me. It was a comment that foreshadowed a book that was to be published three years later, in 2022. A book that has forever changed the face of classical education. Read or hear about the relativization of classical education, and where to go to find absolutes. Link in profile. @artmiddlekauff
Only once in the Gospel of John is Jesus formally Only once in the Gospel of John is Jesus formally accused of blasphemy. According to Leviticus 24, the penalty for blaspheming is to be stoned to death. When Christ’s auditors begin to pick up stones, Jesus responds by saying, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?” It is what Gail O’day describes as “an intricate argument from Scripture”: “Jesus’ argument … employs several exegetical techniques common to first- and second-century Jewish exegesis. Jesus’ exegesis may seem strained to contemporary exegetes, but it falls solidly within the range of exegetical approaches of first-century Judaism… “First, Jesus cites only the first half of Ps 82:6, even though he clearly presupposes the rest of the verse … in his argument (see v. 36). “Second, in rabbinic argumentation, a comparison could be made between two biblical texts simply on the presence of the same word in both texts, even if the words occur in distinct contexts and with quite different meanings. Jesus employs this technique when he compares ‘gods’ to God (vv. 35–36). “Third, his main line of argumentation follows the common rabbinic pattern of arguing from the lesser to the greater. That is, if Scripture speaks of human beings who receive the Word of God as gods, how can it be blasphemy for Jesus to speak of himself as God’s Son? “For the Gospel reader, there may be an additional level of meaning in this argument from the lesser to the greater, because Jesus not only receives the Word of God like those of whom Ps 82:6 speaks, but he is the Word of God (1:1, 14).” These words of Christ were a source of special fascination to Charlotte Mason. In today’s poem, she explores the dialog with the religious authorities. Next week, we will hear her stunning poetic inference.

Through the week’s busyness, I kept saying to my Through the week’s busyness, I kept saying to myself, “I’ve got to go for a walk.” As the days passed and the pressure mounted, I repeated it aloud a handful of times. As I slid my laptop into my bag to work on while waiting for my youngest to finish class, my other son said, “Hey, have you been on the trail that runs through campus? Maybe you should take your walk there.” By the time I’d arrived, the idea had elbowed its way past my to-do list and the trailhead was found. Ten steps into the woods and my shoulders relaxed. They relaxed even more as I stopped to inhale the fragrant yellow blooms of witch hazel. Then I heard the thin high whistle of a cedar waxwing and my heart soared—a friend from the northeast whom I hadn’t seen since moving to Tennessee. I followed his call to a grove of juniper, and, though I never caught sight of him, it was enough to know he was there. So, this is where I am in life—my grown children now tell me to go out to play while the birds remind me that each day has enough trouble of its own. If you hear a whisper say, “Go for a walk,” be sure to heed it. @rbaburina . . . . . . . . . #birdstalking #naturewalk #charlottemasoninspired #forestbathing #naturestudy
