“As for that aesthetic appetency . . . it dies of inanition when beauty is not duly presented to it, beauty in words, in pictures and music, in tree and flower and sky. The function of the sense of beauty is to open a paradise of pleasure for us.” (Vol. 6, A Philosophy of Education, by Charlotte Mason p. 56)
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,And array yourself with glory and beauty. Job 40:10

Dear Isaiah54mom,
My name is Benjamin Bernier,
I am a pastor, and homeschool dad of seven boys, who made his doctoral dissertation studying Charlotte Mason's Philosophy.
I came across your blog looking to contact people with an appreciation for Charlotte Mason's philosophy who may like to know about my recent publication:
Scale How 'Meditations' by Charlotte M. Mason,
http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/scale-how-meditations/15100538#detailsSection
The meditations are a record of a series of Sunday talks delivered by Charlotte Mason during the year 1898, at the House of Education, "Scale How" in Ambleside Uk, where she presents a verse by verse commentary on the first chapters of the Gospel according to St. John.
I found this collection while doing research at the Armitt library in Ambleside. Most people are not aware that Mason wrote these, and that they are an amazing source of devotional inspiration, a direct disclosure of Mason's religious views and instructive in the art of Christian meditation.
That is why I am spreading the word so that more people may benefit from this important resource in Charlotte Mason's work.
Let me know if you have any question,
You may find more information at my blog:

Thank you for your time and attention,
At your service,
Benjamin Bernier
