The Lost Art of Handwriting–and Why It Still Matters
The Epoch Times • Ian Kane
This piece reflects on a forgotten stack of handwritten letters and uses that moment to remind us why handwriting still matters. Ian Kane encounters an old family note—its cursive lines full of rhythm and personality—and realizes how deeply the physical act of writing slows us down, invites reflection, and preserves a kind of presence that digital communication rarely matches. The story becomes a small meditation on memory, attention, and the human desire to leave something lasting behind, suggesting that handwriting isn’t just an old habit but a formative practice worth keeping.

Theology of the Body and the Shape of a Life with Alicia Coyle
What does the body reveal about vocation and our search for communion? In this episode of Composed, Christine Perrin speaks with Alicia Coyle about Theology of the Body, motherhood, feminine formation, chastity, education, and the slow work of composing a life around gift rather than competition. Their conversation moves from John Paul II and Edith Stein to Little Women, Aristotle, Mary at Cana, and the daily patterns of homeschooling, prayer, reading, and family life. For parents seeking a wiser way through cultural confusion, Alicia offers a thoughtful vision of embodiment as something neither limiting nor abstract, but deeply human, practical, and full of invitation. Together, Christine and Alicia consider how ideas become incarnate through teachers, friendships, families, and habits. They ask what it means to see the body as meaningful, how women and men can offer distinct gifts without rivalry, and why formation begins not with rules alone, but with anthropology, wonder, and the truth of the person made in the image of God.
Growing Up Classical: Literature, Wisdom, and the Questions We Carry
What does it mean to grow up classical, and how can the great books help form a young person’s moral imagination? In this episode of Composed, Christine Perrin speaks with Olivia Reardon, a graduating senior at Messiah University, about literature, ethical formation, and the classical Christian classroom. Drawing from Olivia’s senior honors thesis and her upcoming ClassicalU course, Journeying with the Great Books: Ethical Formation in the Classical Christian Classroom, the conversation explores how stories give students language for their deepest questions, offer “handholds” for living in a broken world, and invite readers to return again and again as they grow in wisdom. Together, Christine and Olivia reflect on reading as a relational and formative act, one that happens best in a community of trust, conversation, and shared attention. Olivia offers the images of mirrors, windows, and doors as a way of understanding how books help students see themselves, encounter others, and enter experiences beyond their own. The conversation also considers the breadth of the Great Conversation, not as a narrow inheritance for a few, but as a living tradition shaped by many voices and offered for the formation of all.
Writing Is Thinking
In an age when artificial intelligence can write for us, why should children still learn to write? Drawing on Pixar’s Wall-E , this article warns that technological convenience can make the mind flabby just as surely as comfort can weaken the body. Writing, rightly taught, is more than a school assignment: it is thinking, therapy, and protection against manipulation. Classical education insists on this difficult but liberating work because children who learn to write well learn to think clearly, live freely, and bring order and beauty into the world.
