Arnold the Brave

This time of year we celebrate the Harvest and Michaelmas. We hear and tell stories about Saint Michael helping the people of the village tame the dragon. Saint Michael is a symbol of good triumphing over evil, courage over cowardice. The celebration of this holiday teaches the importance of facing fears and strengthening resolve. The most important thing to keep in mind is that we all face difficulties in life, both external and internal, and somehow we must find the courage and strength to prevail. 
The school my son goes to (and where I've taught both Handwork and Kindergarten), Mountain Sage Community School, is a public charter inspired by Waldorf Education so while we do not bring christianity into our festivals, we do celebrate the deep meaning of this time of year. Visit our website to hear the Dragon Pageant written by the amazing Aleah Black (recorded last year in the midst of not being at school together) and listen to songs sung by our wonderful music teacher Sharon Docherty. You will also find offerings from other special teachers to make star crowns, harvest soup, a dragon, dragon bread and more. 

Below is a story I wrote about a little mouse named Arnold who must call upon his own courage and bravery. I hope you enjoy it. And see the tutorial for Mama's Marigold Dye Bath in the next post!
