The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 832

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. I would like to welcome you all to join me on my peace walk this beautiful Sunday morning. Having suffered greatly over the past 36 hours The Mindful Farmer is back walking again and by the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Not at a fast pace but at a pace that I can absorb the beauty of Mother Nature as she circles around me. On my left hand side are the grey rocks, much older and wiser than me. They are safely clothed with brown seaweed to draw and melt them towards the ocean which is driving and raging but with absolute beauty as it forces its spray high into the morning sky as I move along the rain sodden neighbouring land head. The raging wind nourishes my face and clears my mind. The plentiful bird life don't seem to appreciate this stormy wind but the fattening lambs are bleetingly happy as they are nourished by their mothers milk and the sheltering high rocks further up the headland. I met my great friend, the white Connemara pony and her beautiful speckled baby foal and this time I exchanged meaningful hugs with both of them. For many years now I have had this very meaningful and loving relationship with this lady and as I am nearing my walks end I feel very blessed with joy that Mother Nature has served up this morning on my peace walk and even though the wind and sea was raging so too was peace raging tranquility in my mind. Now I would like to send you a beautiful little prayer my Mam taught me "Prince of peace I need you. Take charge, I need comfort and courage that comes from your spirit. Let me find you in a quiet place where I can hear your heartbeat and feel secure. Amen.” Continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear your Sunday smile.
