The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 280

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 19 of our latest lock down. It is another lovely Sunday and a special day here at Ballinwillin House as we welcome home our baby daughter from Abu Dhabi. There will be great happiness due to her return. It is always sad having a child working in exile either by choice or non choice. The family is always important but never more so than at Christmas. I believe this is so because we harbour all our best childhood memories from Christmas and in my case anyway it is my yardstick to measure happiness but also think of the loved ones that have passed to their spiritual homes where they guard over us. But at this time when you dream it is always about home and you are always among your own. It is a time where the rhythm of our voices rise like birdsong. When you are not at home the country of exile is always cold to your heart and voice. It can be a place without echoes where nothing of yours has happened here but when you come home your friends and family will open all doors to a new beginning and all our hearts will brighten with overflowing happiness. So The Mindful Farmer would like to share his happiness with all you out there. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
