The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 289

Good morning and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 5 of our newest lock down. As you know at this stage, I devote my gardens at Ballinwillin House to mindfulness and there are many reasons for this and one is to renew our lives daily just like the garden. Plants, trees, seeds and grasses all need to be nourished as they grow and so do all of us. It is important that our lives are not clogged up with weeds. We know how to treat the garden but do we know how to look after ourselves. We all need creativity and vitality in our lives to transcend monotony and in this way we will radiate freshness as we live constantly awake and constantly awakening. Every one of us is tasked to make our lives more fruitful even in times that are tough. It is important that we contemplate the most elevated level of our mind and to make the most of each day that we are given. Continue to tend your garden by prayer, blessings and healings and wear your smile.
