The Glory of Form

The Glory of Form

The artist has in common with his Creator a desire to realize ideas in form. Those ideas may be inspired by observation of nature, life experience, Liturgy, other works of art, pain and suffering, hopes and dreams, but ultimately spring from the touch of the Holy Spirit. What we observe about the process and results […]

Three-Dimensional Transcendentals

Three-Dimensional Transcendentals

Benedictine College hosted a Symposium for Advancing the New Evangelization in 2014. The theme was Transcendentals as Preambles to Faith, and I got to propose my take on that as a paper. Anyone who knows me could probably have bet good money I’d do something ‘three dimensional’ with that, and they’d have won those bets. […]

The Mind of the Maker

The Mind of the Maker

I love Dorothy Sayers’ book The Mind of the Maker, and enjoy taking people through it to share her insights into the creative mind of God. She and I are both struck by the strange truth that, though God is (above all things?) a Creator, and we are made in His image, there is not […]

Man as Icon of the Prosopon

Man as Icon of the Prosopon

If, as artists, we hope to recall man to himself, to set him free, to draw him toward God, then we must understand the human person as an icon and icon-writer. The more we understand about icons, the more fully we can enter into the treasury of prayer they open to us. There are four […]

Living Books

Living Books

What actually is a ‘living book,’ and what makes them live?  Living books are vital, interest-catching, windows into worlds. You can hear the author’s passion and his voice. For the Kansas Catholic Homeschooling Conference, I dug deeper into Charlotte Mason’s idea that living books are essential to authentic education. We found some surprising new ways […]

Dreams of Home School

Dreams of Home School

Now that my kids are, essentially, “grown up,” I can look back over my fond dreams – and laugh. From every corner of the world of home education, I pulled images of how ‘our school’ might be – most of them in conflict with each other, and none a perfect picture of how ‘our school’ […]

On Raising Boys

 It’s hard being a boy these days, in a sanitized, feminized environment where it’s so unsafe to run around on your own. I just finished a list of ideas to help a mom help her boys, and thought it might be helpful for others. For what it’s worth: Related
