"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.

    "Ideas 
    ​won't keep; something must be done about them."

     ~ Alfred Whitehead

     

    A Charlotte Mason education leads to all kinds of ideas! Join me in keeping one or several of the notebooks she prescribed and discover the Science of Relations and the Art of Mindfulness.

    "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.  ​ 

    In Appreciation
    Images are linked to their original posts where possible.  They were chosen because I have found something of value there and hope my readers will likewise find a helpful resource as we explore the philosophy of Charlotte Mason together.  In the case of miss-attribution or if you desire your work not be linked, please let me know.
