The magic of a Charlotte Brontë novel transports The magic of a Charlotte Brontë novel transports me to another world. Places, people, scenes, and sights all become real. The stories touch me as if they were happening to a loved one or a friend. Nowhere do I feel this more than the in garden scene of Jane Eyre, chapter 23. “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?” asks Jane. “You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart!” These words moved me to record them in a commonplace years ago before I even knew what a commonplace was. Reading the book with my son has been a delight… but especially when we reached this chapter. Yet though I had read it before, something new struck me this time. You see, I’ve also been reading Charlotte Brontë’s poems. I’ve been reading her descriptions of sunsets, twilights, stars, and gardens. And yes, even of a chestnut tree. As I read the description of Jane Eyre wandering through the orchard — “no nook in the grounds more sheltered and more Eden-like” — I realized I was reading the fruit of years of a poet’s imagination. Reading Brontë’s poems has given me new eyes for her prose. There in the garden, Jane says, “it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal — as we are!” There in the schoolroom reading silently with my son, we were equals sitting at God’s feet, partaking of the words of a spirit that did indeed pass through the grave. And it felt a bit like Eden. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #livingbooks #janeeyre #charlottebronte #literatureclassics #homeschoolingwiththeclassics #desireforknowledge #knowledgeofGod #beautifulbooks #booksforthesoul #charlottemason #charlottemasonpoetry #charlottemasonirl #livingeducation #charlottemasonliving #abundantlife #charlottebrontepoetry #gardenofeden
We have the most ridiculously cute baby skunks wan We have the most ridiculously cute baby skunks wandering around our neighbourhood. They have been around for over a week. They like to play during the day time (!) near the high child traffic areas in people’s yards, like the trampoline, garden boxes, ditches, and swings. If they find a cat to play with, even better. One child called his mom and said “come look at this cute squirrel” and at least two toddlers have walked towards one, arms outstretched, ready to cuddle the adorable pet! We’d seen one alone, and two together, and a few days ago one of our neighbours spotted four together in her yard. We have no idea how many there are. And we’ve not seen a mom at any of the many many reported sightings. They look so very cute, so very cuddly, and they waddle around in such a sweet and funny way, but... Anyone here have a pet skunk or four? 🦨 🤣 🦨 🤣 🦨 🤣 🦨 @antonella.f.greco
“I guess I wouldn’t think of the word ‘joy’ when describing my homeschool.” This was a typical response when Nancy Kelly began telling people that she was preparing a talk on joy in our homeschools. One mom after another would say, “I need some of that in my home.” Rather than being dissuaded by these negative responses, Nancy Kelly was propelled even more urgently to pursue her comprehensive study of joy. It is not an “extra,” she discovered. It is the “mainstay” of a living education. Some talks can be grasped in a single listen and fill us with an inspiration or an idea. Nancy Kelly’s “Joy: Mainstay of a Living Education” is not one of those talks. Rather, it invites repeated listens and careful study. Begin with a first listen of her 2022 talk today by following the profile link. @artmiddlekauff
“After all, a good bookshop is a more thrilling “After all, a good bookshop is a more thrilling place than any library, however admirable, can be… No library can afford the occasion for struggles of soul so tense as these; and the bookseller is richer than the librarian by the nature of his opportunity.” “But the majority of people go to a bookshop … not knowing what they want. That is the good bookseller’s chance.” (Felix Hope, PR35, Readers and Critics, Part II) @tessakeath
