In my Poetry Notebook...

6/14/2017

All these my banners be.
I sow my pageantry
In May--
It rises train by train--
Then sleeps in state again--
My chancel—all the plain
Today.

To lose—if one can find again--
To miss—if one shall meet--
The Burglar cannot rob—then--
The Broker cannot cheat.
So build the hillocks gaily
Thou little spade of mine
Leaving nooks for Daisy
And for Columbine--
You and I the secret
Of the Crocus know--
Let us chant it softly--
"There is no more snow!"

To him who keeps an Orchis' heart--
The swamps are pink with June.
Emily Dickinson

"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.
