There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul –
~Emily Dickinson
He ate and drank the precious words,
His spirit grew robust,
He knew no more that he was poor,
Or that his frame was dust.
He danced along the dingy ways,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings!
~Emily Dickinson
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
~Psalm 73: 25-26
Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass ~ 1 Thes. 5:24
Every day we are experiencing so much. It is good to take time to reflect, to relive the experiences we have had in the past year.
For the richness of living is not only of the moment but can be best appreciated as we think it over.
~ Gladys Taber
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
~Jeremiah 17: 7-8
I commend you for your dedication and love for your family. You provide them with the best education.

Oh your book stacks are just delicious! And my holds list just got a little bit longer!
I just came across this quote from Nancy Reddy: “the writing life is not a sprint. It’s not even a marathon. It’s a daily walk. I want my writing life to be about attention and attunement and deep connection, not frantic productivity.”
Seems like it’s connected to the Cameron book on writing and a good guide for a homeschool year.
