The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 237

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 17 of our new lock down. It is a beautiful sunny morning. Recently we had the joy of looking after our 2 beautiful grandchildren and what strikes me is their lack of fear, their freedom from the lack of need to succeed at everything. They just enjoy every experience in a simple and loving manner - unconditional love! However, we as adults can become so frightened of failure that we are paralysed to such an extent that we are unable to create anything for fear of failure or looking foolish. One way for us adults to shake off that adult concern with success is to recapture our childhood joyous creation and to get involved in some creative past time in any art form or study nature, do a painting, get involved with mindfulness and meditation and live in the now and return to the person we were born to be and rest easy with the world and all in it. Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and hold a child’s hand and see how trusting and loving they are - it will power up your life and soul - how powerful and a recipe for success.
