The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 799

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. This morning I was out and about before day break and it is true that the darkest time is before the dawn. It was fascinating to watch fingers of light appear on the horizon and slowly they pull the mantle of darkness away from our world. There before me was the mystery of a new dawn, a new day, a new Tuesday. I remember as a child back in West Limerick being reminded of this mystery by my Dad as he always had me out of bed at this time. I was too young then and too lamentous for lost sleep to appreciate all this. Is it fair to say that we have lost connection with the mystery of nature and Mother Earth? As Celts it is our longing to remain in rhythm with our inner clay form and our inner clay voice. I fear this voice is no longer audible in our modern world. We may not even be aware of its loss. In our distraction we can forget that we are privileged to live in such a wondrous universe. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace and hope to all who need it and wear your Tuesday smile.
