The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 340

Good afternoon everyone and welcome once more to my daily blog from my hospital bed on day 50 of our latest lock down. The sun is shining through my window of wonder as I gaze out over Clonmel town and follow on up to the top of the beautiful Commeragh mountains that are dotted with houses and distant farms. I notice no cattle or sheep on the land, the fields vary from very long rectangular to all shapes and sizes that are beautifully landscaped by the great art of the Lord almighty. Hospital gives you the time to think beyond the ordinary and to think about life and lifes happenings but oftentimes our worst experiences in life can be our best teachers. Healing fulfillment and freedom comes from our ability to choose our response to whatever life brings us and in particular suffering. Freedom is a lifetime practice and the wonderful thing is that we get that choice again and again each day. True freedom comes from hope and hope for the future and an awareness that suffering, however severe, is only temporary and that we have the will and curiosity to discover what happens next. Hope allows us to live in the present instead of the past and the ability to unlock doors of our mental pureness and never, ever stop choosing love and hope. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need in including The Mindful Farmer and remember to keep smiling.
