 "One Crow Sorrow, Two Crows Joy
Three crows a Letter, Four crows Boy Five Crows silver, Six crows Gold Seven crows a secret never to be told." SONNET: THE CROW John Clare How peaceable it seems for lonely men To see a crow fly in the thin blue sky Over the woods and fealds, o'er level fen It speaks of villages, or cottage nigh Behind the neighbouring woods--when march winds high Tear off the branches of the huge old oak I love to see these chimney sweeps sail by And hear them o'er the knarled forest croak Then sosh askew from the hid woodmans stroke That in the woods their daily labours ply I love the sooty crow nor would provoke Its march day exercises of croaking joy I love to see it sailing to and fro While feelds and woods and waters spread below.

"Perhaps this is one of the secrets of life--to know 'glory' when we see it."
--Charlotte Mason
Virtual Life?
A wee explanation: this website was created as a way to amplify the daily surprise of seeing glory in one small life. The notebook entries represented here are all selected from things actually lived and noted on paper in an effort to live the full life British educator Charlotte Mason so ably championed.
Photos chosen are linked to their original posts in most cases because I have found something of value there and hope my readers will likewise find a helpful resource. In the case of miss-attribution or if you desire your work not be linked, please let me know.
