You probably know the Charlotte Mason quote “The You probably know the Charlotte Mason quote “The flowers, it is true, are not new; but the children are; and it is the fault of their elders if every new flower they come upon is not to them a Picciola, a mystery of beauty to be watched from day to day with unspeakable awe and delight.” from page 53 of Home Education.

But do you know the story of Picciola? It is a heart-warming tale about a plant growing up through the paving stones in a yard of a prison in France, lovingly tended by an innocent man who is jailed there.

James Baldwin retold this story in the penultimate chapter of his “Fifty Famous Stories” published in 1896. It’s just a couple of pages long, but really quite lovely. And a famous man’s wife makes a one-line appearance in the story.

Baldwin’s retelling was based on the novel “Picciola” written by X. B. Saintine, a French dramatist and novelist, and it was published in France in 1836. Have any of you read that original? I’d like to try to get my hands on a copy! A quick search tells me it has been translated into many languages.

At any rate, I saw my own Picciola growing in a crack on the bridge here in town, and it reminded me of both Mason’s quote and Baldwin’s story which we read way back in our first year of homeschooling.

I have fond memories of those days years ago when I have fond memories of those days years ago when we had our own newborns. Those were days of newness, excitement, uncertainty, and possibility. We were filled with energy and love; we had everything we needed except experience. We encountered so many challenges, but Barbara always figured out what to do. And everything worked out.

Now I see her with her daughter’s son. Yes, she’s a grandmother now, and it’s amazing to see. She has all the same energy and love; but now she also has experience. None of the uncertainty of our younger days. With confidence and tenderness she meets the challenge of every occasion.

Yes, most people will call her a grandmother. But I like to call her a super-mom. Lessons learned and never forgotten, energy renewed and never exhausted, and an admirer who never tires of appreciating who she is and what she’s done.

Doom scrolling, doom surfing, zombie scrolling, en Doom scrolling, doom surfing, zombie scrolling, envy scrolling…people (especially our young people) who endlessly scroll their phones have a higher risk of anxiety, depression, and self-harm.

Handicrafts and Art in all the forms help supply our children with healthy pursuits and wholesome things to do, look upon, or listen to in their free time.

Let’s face it: homeschooling is hard. As parent- Let’s face it: homeschooling is hard. As parent-educators, we want to prepare our children spiritually, mentally, and physically for the fullness of life. On this journey we face pressures and doubts. We wonder about our pace and progress. We wonder about results. We feel inadequate and can’t help but compare ourselves to others around us. When our worries threaten to overwhelm us we seek refuge in faith.

Many veterans on this journey tell us to simply “trust the method.” Is this answer Miss Mason would give? How would she tell us to balance faith, reason, and responsibility in this great task of raising the children entrusted to our care? Hear my comprehensive answer recorded live at the 2025 Living Education Retreat. Find it at the profile link.
