The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 862

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to The Mindful Farmers place of peace. The Mindful Farmers heart is heavy this morning. I have just learnt of the passing of my dear and trusted friend Padraic Molloy from Connemara. I have known this man for over 40 years. What a man, an island man, a man of the era. A poet, a writer and a comedian, a wonderful stone mason and he himself hewn from the rock. With his wife, the beautiful Barbara, he raised a fantastic family and now many grandchildren. His most recent love was the Dexter cows and then there was the magical wedding in Malta where we all had great fun in the heat and Padriac praying for snow to cool us down. Mother Earth and his proud homeland of Connemara have lost a beautiful man and now the gates of heaven spring open to welcome you to your new home. It is not a strange place to you, merely back to where you never really left. May your soul smile in the embrace of your Anam Cara and in the lake below your house the quiet reflection of your life’s work, kindness and rugged beauty will be rippled by the tears that will fall for you. Slán go foil a Padraic. You have left an imprint on this earth as you will in heaven. Look after us all in your big, powerful, spiritual embrace.
