He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience, to look upon it
from as many angles as he can....
He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest motions of the wind.

Once in his life man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth, I believe. He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience, to look upon it from as many angles as he can.... ...to wonder about it, to dwell upon it. He ought to imagine that he touches it with his hands at every season and listens to the sounds that are made upon it. He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest motions of the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of noon and all the colors of the dawn and dusk.

"The world is a great treasure-house full of things to be seen, and each new thing one sees is a new delight. " -Charlotte Mason 4.29 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord... He will bring forth your righteousness as the light... Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; Psalm 37:4-7 Do you have a little one who wants to read the same few books over and over and over again? Mousekin's Golden House happens to be one of those here recently. Pumpkin Moonshine inspired these fierce horrid crooked teeth.
Our youngest was SO excited for pumpkin season this year because of this book. Isn't it just fun to watch their eyes light up and hear their eagerness when little ones get old enough to remember and even look forward to these things? |
Welcome!
"I am recording this so that future generations will also praise the Lord for all He has done." -Psalm 102:18 I am a mama to 2 sweet brothers who aspires to a "thinking love" toward my children.

I Participate"In this field small efforts are honoured with great rewards, and we perceive that
the education we are giving exceeds all that we intended or imagined.”
- Mason “It may be that the souls of all children are waiting for the call of knowledge to awaken them to delightful living.”
