The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 253

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 33 of our new lock down. Another Monday and the start of another week. Over the weekend we had some great fun and memories with the grandchildren and their love at such a young age for animals and how the animals on the farm bring me such joy but also bring joy to my grandchildren and also my own children over the years. The amazing fact to appreciate is that all animals have a very relaxing effect on young people and people of all ages. I always say that animals, especially wild animals like deer and wild boar, know this world in a way we never will. As human beings we struggle daily to be where we are whereas they are always gazing at us from the here and now in their casual and relaxed manner. Our big wish and ambition in this life is to feel the earth beneath us and breaking with us. May we learn to walk upon this earth with confidence and clear eyed stillness so that our minds are baptized in the name of the wind and the light of the rain. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all and wear your Monday smile.
