"We should elude much enfeebling spiritual worry, and proportionately increase our effective contribution to the world's redemption if we kept more steadily in mind the patent fact of our own limited knowledge: that the richness and splendour of the spiritual universe which surrounds and penetrates our narrow universe of sense is mostly unperceived by us as we are now. It is true that as spirits anchored to this world yet belonging to that, we do already live within that spiritual universe. But like new-born kittens, our eyes are not yet opened to our situation; we can only vaguely recognize the touch upon the fur." - Evelyn Underhill

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.
