Daybreak: At the Gates of Dawn

The strange, beautiful moment when The Wind in the Willows opens onto mystery

This morning on Daybreak, we step into one of the most remarkable chapters of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows: “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” Rat and Mole’s search for a missing child becomes an encounter with music, wonder, fear, and something they can scarcely understand.

We also look briefly across the world of Catholic education before heading into the Listening Room for our Chesterton Radio review of this extraordinary story—and the question it leaves behind: why are some of our deepest experiences so difficult to explain?

From The Little Station on Commercial Street, a thought worth carrying into the day.
