One of our favourite Canadian poets is Robert Serv One of our favourite Canadian poets is Robert Service. We love to read his poems aloud. There’s just something about how the words sound. And his poems are just rollicking, his verses roll off the tongue! We can’t help but smile and laugh as we read them! Though we consider him a Canadian poet, his biography tells us that he was born in England in 1874, his family returned to their native Scotland when he was a boy, he came to British Columbia Canada in his early 20s, moved around western North America for a decade, lived in the Yukon for a decade, in France for a decade and a half during WWI, in California during WWII, and moved back to France where he spent the final years of his life. He died there in 1958. What makes this world traveller feel like a Canadian poet is the subject matter of his poems, his poetic sensibilities, his turn of phrase, the ideas he incorporates into his story-telling, his quirky humour, and more than that, the way he captured this country’s essence. He put into words our unique experience, from (his) present and the past, including many poems set in Gold Rush times. Robert Service could describe ice and snow and cold and that “chilled to the bone” feeling like no other. If you’ve not had these Arctic experiences yourself, this poetry can transport you to a different place and time with such vivid, captivating imagery. The classic northern paintings by Ted Harrison, who also lived in the Yukon for 25 years, paired with Robert Service’s poems in these picture books don’t hurt, either. And, wonderfully, here in Manitoba, we woke up to a fresh snowfall of 5 or 6 cm on Wednesday, just in time for me to take this photo. ❄️🇨🇦❄️ Do you have a favourite national, regional, or even local poet? Share with us the poets that tell the tales of your land, those who capture the unique flavour of your region. So that we, too, can be transported! @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #robertservice #canadianpoetry #yukon #livingideas #charlottemasonpoetry
“Another elemental relationship, which every child “Another elemental relationship, which every child should be taught and encouraged to set up, is that of power over material. Every child makes sand castles, mud-pies, paper boats, and he or she should go on to work in clay, wood, brass, iron, leather, dress-stuffs, food-stuffs, furnishing-stuffs. He should be able to make with his hands and should take delight in making.” (School Education, p. 80) That delight isn’t only for children. I wove this little willow baby rattle and truly took delight in the making of it. @tessakeath
It’s a wonder that hop clover is considered such a It’s a wonder that hop clover is considered such a nuisance. Also known as black medic or yellow trefoil, it can basically be eaten as one would eat collard greens in the south (sautéed, braised, added to soups & stews). According to Eat the Planet, “every 100g black medic leaves contain around 23g of protein and around 25g of fiber, making this herb an amazing source of protein and fiber.” As with everything, moderation is key. @rbaburina . . . . . . . . . #naturenotebook #blackmedic #charlottemasonliving #naturewalk #naturejournal
“We all want children to became citizens of charac “We all want children to became citizens of character,” writes Elsie Kitching. “The question is what is character and what develops it?” Many Christian schools and homeschools regard the cultivation of virtue as one of the most, if not the most, important purposes of education. Nearly all parents and teachers want their children and students to grow up not only thinking rightly but also acting rightly. Did Charlotte Mason have a specific idea on how character is to be formed? According to her close associate Elsie Kitching, she certainly did. 1920 was a time of reconstruction and upheaval in Europe. Many Britons were asking “What next?” Miss Kitching was ready with Miss Mason’s answer. Kitching’s article is full of flavor, thought-provoking anecdotes, and humorous stories that all gather around the question of character formation. Kitching’s final answer is profound and eminently applicable today. Read or hear her article, now on the internet for the very first time at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff
