In choosing to follow Charlotte Mason’s philosophy In choosing to follow Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and principles, I’ve found that her influence extends far beyond our homeschool lessons. There are many aspects of life where her ideas have challenged, encouraged, and shaped me. The Parents’ Review article on Mother Culture has especially impressed upon me how important it is to take time for our own growth. About making time for mother culture, the article says: “The only way to do it is to be so strongly impressed with the necessity for growing herself that she herself makes it a real object in life.” The article goes on to say that, “if we would do our best for our children, grow we must; and on our power of growth surely depends, not only our future happiness, but our future usefulness.” Not only our happiness, but our future usefulness! Grow we must. With that in mind, I spent this past weekend making a little space for my own growth, taking a basket weaving class with a dear friend who also happens to be a Charlotte Mason homeschooling mother. Getting to spend time together weaving, learning and growing in skills with our hands, and enjoying the fellowship of a shared pursuit is something I am incredibly grateful for. Sometimes growth looks like reading a book, studying a subject, or spending time in nature. Sometimes it looks like learning or further developing a handicraft alongside a friend. However it takes shape, I want to make it a real object in life that it does take place. Nurturing our own growth is not separate from our work as mothers, but it strengthens it. @tessakeath
In 1908, Charlotte Mason lamented the state of Bib In 1908, Charlotte Mason lamented the state of Bible study in her day: “We have analysed until the mind turns in weariness from the broken fragments; we have criticised until there remains no new standpoint for the critic.” If that was the situation then, how is it now, a century later? Richard John Neuhaus recently lamented “the slide of biblical scholarship into hyper-specialized critical studies of ancient texts in remote historical context.” It seems that the broken fragments just keep getting smaller. Mason aimed to reverse that trend by writing a “synthetic study of the life and teaching of Christ.” She believed that “if we could only get a whole conception of Christ’s life among men, and of the philosophic method of His teaching, His own word should be fulfilled, and the Son of Man, lifted up, would draw all men unto Himself.” In her study, she assumed by faith that the entirety of Scripture — Old and New Testament — provide a unified witness to coherent theological truth. Therefore in her meditation on any particular passage of Scripture, she saw and contemplated the links from the part to the whole. Today’s poem is a wonderful example of this Christ-centered contemplation. In studying Mary’s three-month visit to Elizabeth, the critic would have us analyze the syntax and grammar of 13 Greek words. Mason would have us take a tour of the Psalms and the Prophets. Read the poem at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #thesaviouroftheworld #thevisitation #maryandelizabeth #gospelofluke
During the same walk as yesterday’s tiny woodpecke During the same walk as yesterday’s tiny woodpecker holes, we also saw this pileated woodpecker handiwork! The contrast is incredible! It is fascinating to see how different types of woodpeckers are so different. Which woodpeckers do you see? Are they regular visitors? @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #manitobabirds #woodpecker #pileatedwoodpecker #charlottemasonnaturestudy #eyesandnoeyes
We happened upon this scene on a romp through the We happened upon this scene on a romp through the woods. Someone had very recently been there, with so much evidence of nature’s sawdust on top of the snow. Who would make such small holes? They are about half a centimetre to a centimetre in diameter. Our guess is small woodpeckers. We do have plenty of downy and hairy woodpeckers around all year. Such sweet things! The tree was liberally sprinkled with these holes, but even low down to the ground (which we weren’t exactly expecting). Swipe to see! @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #woodpecker #downywoodpecker #hairywoodpecker #charlottemasonnaturestudy #eyesandnoeyes
