Thank you for the poem on Every Idle Word. Timely and timeless. Once again your newsletter embodies themes that resonate and affirm places of the heart I’m tending. Beauty and dwelling space are precious to me. Images of chaos surround, flicker and fill our environment. One thing I appreciate about spaces that are not mult-functional is the intent to draw you into the set apart place. Space that allows you to focus on Beauty and receive rest from the noise of the world. It gives your whole being space to recalibrate. Certain church spaces do this and gardens. I’m glad that your school is embracing ways to provide windows and spaces of invitation to such beauty and inspiration.
Thanks for your sentiments. Although I am not a teacher in schools, I have helped my sister, who teaches 4th grade. Every August, I am her willing servant, and I assist her in creating an inviting, colorful, happy place that her new students will call their classroom. Hope your coming year will be fantastic!
Also, I’m slowly reading the rich writing of Timothy G. Patitsas’ book The Ethics of Beauty.
I must look that up! Thanks for the rec!
