The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 137

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this very wet morning and day 32 out of lock down. This morning I am going to talk to you about compassion. Yesterday I was lucky enough to be in the company of two very compassionate people. We all know that giving with compassion is not easy to some people. It is not easy to know the pain and feel the hurt of another. Sometimes compassion asks us only to sit and be with someone, to wait patiently, to understand and experience their helplessness. Other times we need to show our compassion by doing things, to go that extra mile. Sometimes compassion asks us to receive graciously from another who is in need of our receptivity and our vulnerability. What is important in our lives is that we do not live in vain and to learn to be unruffled by loss, gain, joy or pain. Today, show some compassion to someone out there and for many days to come.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
