The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 326

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 36 of our latest lock down. Earlier this morning I was taken by the amount of water flowing off the land and into the river and all rivers are full now and many overflowing in forests due to the continuous heavy rain but The Mindful Farmer has always been fascinated by rivers and I have written many pieces over the years about my relationship with one river in particular and they always remind me of our own lives. Even if blocked or dammed the river will always force a new route first as our lives do and when things change within our lives with work, personal issues, sickness etc we first take a new course just like the river. Similarly we need to accept change in our lives otherwise our lives will never flow with ease. In everyone's life the same stream of life runs through the world. It is up to us to dance in rhythm, step with Mother Nature, the waters and the wild. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
